Watch Out!

    In Short…STAY AWAY FROM THIS.

    This is an Incredibly annoying plugin that causes spam pop-ups on your screen as you try to configure it…NO, I do not want to watch free movies…I really don’t want to watch free movies…I really really don’t want to watch free movies. I couldn’t stop the popups fast enough. **Yes, I have pop up blocker turned on. This somehow got around all that.

    I read about this on an article of the 28 best plugins to have for business word press… makes me think less of the other plugins in that article simply by association with this steaming pile of annoyance.

    It seems like it could actually be a decent plug-in, and I was interested in the pro version until this happened.

    Spoiler alert…as of this writing, monthly recurring for the pro version. (If pop ups are what you get with the free, what do you get with the pro??)

    I’m off now to run a full malware / spyware detox on my mac after this experience. Just wanted to post this in case anyone else read the same article.

    AngeloDownunder, thank you for you feedback. It allowed us to correct this issue. We have solved the Popup problem with our plugin.

    The problem was the Sweet Captcha Plugin we were using for our website which is accessed through the plugin for some functionality. Needless to say we have removed the Sweet Captcha Plugin and there are no further popup problems.

    Below you will find a link to a thread that discusses this very issue. Thank you again for helping us identify it.

    We would really appreciate it if you would revise your review in light of this information. I would also like to offer you 1 free month of our Pro SEO Services for helping us to identify this issue. Please contact me at rob[at]localadworks.com and I will get you set up.
