Hestia 3.0.23 – New Footer doesn’t make sense

    Hello,

    Yesterday, 01/Jul/2022 there was a new version upgrade with:

    From 3.0.23 we decided to remove the copyright control from the free version. You can continue using it if you roll back to 3.0.22 or you can upgrade to pro…

    Why? It doesn’t make sense, please Hestia Team roll back this you guys just messed up that you used the free version and correctly credited Hestia.

    Any one can use a display none CSS, but and the other people who used it correctly respecting the license of use and leaving the credits next to the custom footer?

    Those who made it invisible will remain that way, but who had a custom footer and couldn’t pay annually for Pro lost a previously granted functionality.

    Please, consider return the custom footer and force the credits below it. I love so much this theme, but actually I can’t upgrade to Pro even with one-time discount. My site it just a non commercial fan-site.

    Best,

    Hi @feriato,

    you can edit copyright by adding following code to footer scripts:

    <script type="text/javascript">

window.addEventListener('load', function(){
   const copyright = document.querySelector('footer.footer div.hestia-bottom-footer-content div.copyright');
   
   var year = new Date();
   copyright.innerHTML = 'YOUR TEXT';
});

</script>

    Hi @darriancze!

    I apologize for the frustration this change must have caused you. I do understand that this is not a popular decision but we analyzed the product sustainability and growth and in order to further support the innovation and development we appeal to our users to further support our work by either recommending our product if they like or financially via paying for the PRO version. Moreover please consider that Hestia is a customers funded project and without Premium product sales we can’t provide any updates whatsoever to the free product.

    With that in mind we have decided that if you want to update to the newer version, you’ll either have to get the premium version to get the functionality or accept that some features would be missing. Alternatively, you’re free to continue to use the previous versions for as long as you want.

    If you think that Hestia does not provide enough value to use it, I do understand and with the support of those that will do, we hope to increase the value over time thru new features to make it worth it for you too.

    Have a great day ahead!

    I completely understand that, but since we are using the Hestia only as a “public face” of a fan project, with only several pages, and this fan project is entirely funded by us (by not really insignificant amount of money), then it’s just not sustainable for us to upgrade to Pro. Considering how it is used in our case.
