Thanks for finally listening to your users. I’ve change the review to 3 stars as you eliminated the annoying ad button. Thanks much.

But still: You are adding your menu in the main sidebar – not under settings where it belongs. Once that is solved, 5 stars are yours.

As we just roll back the change recorded in the vid above, here is the code change that breaks the editor:

Before = works fine:
<!-- wp:uagb/post-grid {"block_id":"ee2151b4","categories":"99","postsToShow":20,"displayPostDate":false,"excerptLength":27,"displayPostAuthor":false,"displayPostComment":false,"imgSize":"full","ctaText":"Read More","btnHPadding":0,"btnVPadding":0,"borderColor":"#ffffff","columns":2,"bgColor":"#ffffff","titleColor":"#ef5523","titleTag":"h1","titleFontSize":20,"titleLineHeight":1.1,"excerptColor":"#313131","excerptFontSize":14,"excerptFontWeight":"400","excerptLineHeight":1.2,"ctaColor":"#ef5523","ctaBgColor":"#ffffff","ctaHColor":"#313131","ctaFontSize":16,"ctaFontWeight":"100","contentPadding":10,"titleBottomSpace":20,"metaBottomSpace":2,"excerptBottomSpace":0,"paginationMarkup":"empty"} /-->

After = breaks editor
<!-- wp:uagb/post-grid {"block_id":"77bce79a","categories":"99","postsToShow":20,"displayPostDate":false,"excerptLength":27,"displayPostAuthor":false,"displayPostComment":false,"imgSize":"full","ctaText":"Read More","btnHPadding":0,"btnVPadding":0,"borderColor":"#ffffff","columns":2,"bgColor":"#ffffff","titleColor":"#ef5523","titleTag":"h1","titleFontSize":20,"titleLineHeight":1.1,"excerptColor":"#313131","excerptFontSize":14,"excerptFontWeight":"400","excerptLineHeight":1.2,"ctaColor":"#ef5523","ctaBgColor":"#ffffff","ctaHColor":"#313131","ctaFontSize":16,"ctaFontWeight":"100","contentPadding":10,"titleBottomSpace":20,"metaBottomSpace":2,"excerptBottomSpace":0,"postPagination":true,"paginationMarkup":"empty"} /-->

Hope this helps to replicate the issue…

See here how it breaks. Block error message is in German but I guess you understand the issue: https://share.getcloudapp.com/6qu26OKA

We are using your astra pro theme and some 40 plugins and our blog has some 400 articles.

For privacy reasons we may not share access to our system (GDPR rules here), sorry.

I hope YOU understand the problem and I’m happy to be more precise:

First of all I am talking about the plugin “Gutenberg Post Blocks” to make this clear.

After installation of the plugin, you are adding a main menu item called “Post Blocks”.

Clicking on the menu gives access to five tabs “Getting Started, General Settings, Recommended Theme, Video Tutorials, Changelog”. Only one tab “General Settings” has actual influence on the plugin behavior. The rest is irrelevant or advertisements.

Using the tab “General Settings” one has just four options: “CSS Add Via”, “Select Preloader Style”, “Container Width” and “Hide Import Button”.

Even if the option “Hide import button” is checked, you are displaying a very prominent “Import Layouts” button in the wp editor. I’ve verified this button’s source is your plugin. So even I’m not interested in importing any layouts (as configured) you are advertising this with EVERY post or page I’m editing.

Sorry, but I call this very intrusive by all means or a very bad bug.

I’m super happy to give you five stars if

1. You remove your main menu and sort it under settings (where it belongs). I don’t care that 4 of 5 tabs are irrelevant and ads. That’s fine if it helps your business bugging your users. But please stop clogging the main menu!
2. You remove the “Import Layouts” button from the editor as configured in the settings and obey user’s wish.

Sorry, if I wasn’t clear enough and I hope you got it now.

And thanks to your great feedback, you deserve just one star. Client orientation is key for success but not treating clients like fools…

Just a few long time issues without any change:

– Same fundraising goal in two language = impossible. They always count separately. So raising ONE goal – say 10.000 EUR in different languages is impossible as they will show up as different goals = makes no sense at all.

– All emails/UI can only have one language or need to be set individually for each goal, which is silly as we only have ONE goal! There is no multi-language support at all.

– Donation form fields can not be edited/changed/moved (some make no sense in Europe – and the field order is completely off – so people drop of the form as they expect European fields and order)

– Forms are too long and donate button is *always below the fold*.

– Donation amount can not be changed anymore when entering address etc. So people just drop off and poorly convert.

– Most reporting is completely wrong – i.e. average calc (we use EURO with different thousand separator: 1.000,00 instead of US 1,000.00. This is apparently not supported and causes a multitude of issues)

– Recurring donations are charged 100 times more. Are you guys silly? This is seriously the worst. We need to contact each donor, excuse and correct the mistake manually.

– Apple Pay is not working at all – but we paid for it – as for all the other features.

YOU ARE NOT DELIVERING WHAT WE PAID FOR!

Again readers:
If you are NOT BASED IN THE US – stay away from this sh*t. 2022 might be a good time to check back as we are waiting forever to get these issues (and a couple more) fixed.

Sorry Give guys, even you feel the US is the greatest nation of the world – there are still people in other countries. If you don’t address and fix your issues ASAP – you wont be successful and get bad ratings.

As for the message itself, it’s only visible within the “Permissions” tab added by the Block Permissions add-on. It’s limited to only that section.

That’s NOT true. Block Permissions is turned off (NONE of the add-ons is activated!).

To make myself clear: With EVERY block I edit there is your ad in the right column saying

To protect this block by paid membership or centrally with a content protection rule, upgrade to MemberPress.

WTF?

THIS SUCKS – and is SPAMMING my block controls.

But again: I’m happy to just “display: none” to your nonsense – and will roll back to Justin’s version asap.
