I'm not Even Gonna Begin To Rant

    But I am gonna Rant… Woocommerce has gone downhill. After spending almost 1000 on premium addons, the most simplistic features don’t work. I know I’m not the only one. Thank God I bought the plugins before they quadrupled in price. I loved wordpress and it’s ability to harness the power of e-commerce but at this point, there isn’t a single solution that makes e-commerce fun or even the most simplistic features available. I’m going back to ebay. Can’t add images without having to go back and re-edit the product… No variable subscription based time frame billing on anything, they claim to have this functionality only after you buy one addon, then are told to actually buy this addon. I’m really pissed, I don’t know how woo-commerce has such a high rating, but I now have disabled automatic upgrades on all plugins because of losing functionality. Lastly, clean up after yourself and get rid of the transient crap you leave, when you are removed from sites. Go back to the olden days, scale back a few versions, and things will be fine.

    There is no mention of doing this in core; only through subscriptions add-on. Subscriptions is a beast; I don’t know if you’ve looked at the code, but there is no way that could be easily maintained in core. It has its own team behind it and it’s a really good product. Is that your gripe, thats its paid for functionality?

    Can’t add images without having to go back and re-edit the product…

    I’m not sure if you’re suggesting a way to add to products without editing, or if you’re saying the images are not working for you? Galleries and featured images are working fine my side and have not seen any other reports of this breaking.

    Thank God I bought the plugins before they quadrupled in price.

    Does this mean you’ve running older versions of those addons? All plugins require maintainence; hence why 1 off costs are not sustainable.

    Lastly, clean up after yourself and get rid of the transient crap you leave, when you are removed from sites. Go back to the olden days, scale back a few versions, and things will be fine.

    Transients are a caching mechanism and are not permanent. WP cleans them up after a core update.

    Thanks!
