Difficult to use for non-experts

    This plugin is not a good choice for non-experts who just want a way to add Open Graph information to their WordPress website. I found it very difficult to use compared to other Open Graph plugins that are available.

    This plugin does not have a configuration panel in the WordPress dashboard. From what I can tell, this plugin is intended only for software developers who are comfortable controlling it by directly editing PHP code. See the plugin’s website for more details. I find it very hard to understand.

    hi @jessriedel

    Thank you for your time and opinion.

    And you are right!

    Main purpose was a simple config-less plugin.

    I will remove those FAQs, which should be in developer docs.

    Hi Marcin,

    Thanks for the reply. It would probably be helpful to state in the description something like

    “This plugin is for normal users who either want a simple OpenGraph plugin with no ability to make adjustments, or for expert developers who are able to edit the plugin’s PHP code; if you are a non-developer who wants the ability to configure things, you should choose a different plugin”.

    Cheers,
    Jess

    hi @jessriedel

    I removed most of these PHP-filter-related answers …

    Could you reconsider your review?

    Hi @iworks ,

    OK. I kept the star rating the same because I still think this plug-in is a bad choice for most users. It will be too difficult for them to use. However, I have updated the writing in my review to reflect the changes you have made.

    Best,
    Jess
