Title: Sloppy Code Last modified: September 2, 2016 --- # Sloppy Code * [platowynne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/platowynne/) * (@platowynne) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sloppy-code/) * I loved this plugin when it first came out – and if the code had grown cleanly, would have happily paid for the upgraded version. BUT. * 1. The code is sloppy and as a result, this plugin is a resource HOG!!!! 3. The upgrade path is totally broken. I am using this plugin on about 20 sites and in every case, any upgrade is hassle which in most instances, breaks the whole site. I have one site right now that I simply cannot upgrade at all. No matter what I try, as soon as I activate the plugin, white screen of death 3. Incessant nag screens for no reason 4. When I am able to upgrade successfully( see item #2) the plugin locks up everything in WP until you comply with its orders to install the calendar themes, whether you want them or not. * I am looking for a replacement for this plugin and would give it 0 stars if that were an option. It has a lot of strong features but they are poorly implemented and it is a hassle. PROCEED WITH CAUTION on this plugin.

I loved this calendar until recently, but it’s now bogging everything down. Let me know if you find a good alternative. * Thread Starter [platowynne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/platowynne/) * (@platowynne) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sloppy-code/#post-7758946) * I am going to check into the Spider calendar and see if it is any better. Will report in later today or tomorrow. The upgrading was a TOTAL HASSLE, when I upgraded, it broke my sites right and left and it just eats me alive on PHP-CGI processes. They just got too damn big for their britches. Instead of trying to roll out every feature under the sun, they should have stuck to their basic functionality and optimized for performance. When I went to their forums to figure out why I was getting all manner of error msgs while upgrading, they say they will answer support tix in FIFTEEN DAYS. ORLY? Because if I told MY clients that, they would just leave….. * They will get over themselves when we all start abandoning the plugin instead of upping to the paid version – which, once upon a time, I would have done…. * Melissa * [formerfatguy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/formerfatguy/) * (@formerfatguy) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sloppy-code/#post-7758948) * great feedback aboiut the plugin. I’m looking to import drupal calendar events into a wordpress calendar and am currently looking. * speed is critical though and want to be hands off this client after work is done, so a working version would be an asset (good working version) * Thread Starter [platowynne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/platowynne/) * (@platowynne) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sloppy-code/#post-7758952) * EVERY one of the twenty or so sites I upgraded to 1.9.5 crashed and burned. I spent yesterday rolling them all back because after several calls saying their sites were down – I checked all of the upgraded sites and indeed, the majority had crashed – White Screen of Death – between the time I upgraded them Sunday night and yesterday. NOT COOL. In every instance, I had to disable AI1EC in the Options table to bring the site back up. Then I had to roll back to the older version, which means the upgrade nag screens are back…..An FYI for anyone thinking of upgrading. CAUTION. CRASH AND BURN AHEAD. * Thread Starter [platowynne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/platowynne/) * (@platowynne) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sloppy-code/#post-7758953) * [@formerfatguy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/formerfatguy/) The resource usage is ridiculous. I am caching files and using compression and it STILL uses too much memory and opens too many PHP-CGI processes….. * [malkieh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/malkieh/) * (@malkieh) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sloppy-code/#post-7758957) * Excellent accurate review platowynne. * Wish I read it before I paid for this site and server killing plugin. * [bradleyroulston](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bradleyroulston/) * (@bradleyroulston) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sloppy-code/#post-7758958) * Hi All, I’m a principal of Timely.
