    I noticed that my concerns
   have been taken care of in the latest updates. I think that is a good move to
   keep the trust of all the users of FSCF.
 * I’ll set this thread to ‘resolved’.

 * Thanks for responding. The link you provide shows how this plugin is intended
   to work. I get no clue as to how the plugin should be updated. I hope **wycks**
   reads this soon and responds. Preferrably with an update.
 * For now I use another plugin, but if this works I’ll rethink that decision.

 * Your plugin looks really promising but I have the same problem here. Upon activation
   I get the message:
    Warning: Wrong parameter count for strstr() in xxx/wp-html-
   sitemap/wp-html-sitemap.php on line 159 then some more messages, and finally 
   resulting in: Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_page_templates() in
   xxx/wp-html-sitemap/inc/Utilities.php on line 382
 * The dashboard is gone, but returns if I delete the plugin using FTP. Maybe this
   will help to solve the problem.
    BTW: did the plugin leave any trash in my DB?

    Totally agree.
   I’ll look into Contact Form 7 as well. It is a pity that things went the way 
   they did. I sense no urgency about what happened. Best of luck!
 * [@mike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike/)
    I have thought about this
   for a few days. You set this thread to “Resolved”, which in a literal sense is
   correct I suppose. I don’t want to “go on about it”, but I think the importance
   of what happened is bigger than FSCF. So I will open a new thread (in this part
   of the forum, although I feel it needs a broader public attention) about the 
   current implementation of vCita in FSCF. It is not my intention to put you down
   in any way, but I think it is good to get to an understanding of where the limitations
   are with what can be commercially done in a plugin. This is not only important
   for the users of FSCF, but for the WordPress community as a whole. FSCF / vCita
   is interesting to discuss. I can understand why you would want to stop the discussion,
   so I am sorry for “going on about it”.

 * If you looked at a plugin that said in the description:

   box, send your email address and perhaps some other private data to a bunch of
   really nice guys that promiss not to use that information.

    OK, thanks for
   clarifying the banner issue. If I accused Mike wrongly of introducing a new backdoor
   I apologize.
 * Let’s wait and see what happens. That is what I will be doing right now. I want
   to trust Mike and keep using the plugin, but something has to be done and corrected.
 * The seperate vCita plugin would be the best way to go, I guess, but that is up
   to Mike and vCita. I’m waiting to see what happens…

 * Hi Mike,
 * Thank you for your quick reply. The magic word in using a plugin is TRUST. As
   a plugin user, selecting a plugin for a certain function, you ask yourself if
   the plugin author can be trusted to create a well written plugin that doesn’t
   break your website, and you ask yourself if the plugin author can be trusted 
   to update the plugin when needed and provide some form of regular service.
 * Over the years you have really earned that trust. You have written a fantastic
   plugin that is downloaded over 2 million times and your service was really very
   good.
 * But… everything that happened with this vCita code has not helped to sustain 
   that trust. And the way it works out now, by first getting a new update out there,
   and then hearing from crudhunter that a new backdoor e-mail sending piece of 
   code behind a banner has been introduced is not helping either. One tends to 
   wonder what else is in the code that has not been found yet.
 * I understand that you want to make some $$, and maybe a lot of $$, from cVita.
   There is no problem there. I understand that fully and you deserve it. But why
   this way? Why not make a seperate plugin for vCita and have your plugin work 
   with that. Why clutter your code with this vCita function if it is only used 
   by 0,2 % of your users and if it upsets your other users?
 * You wrote:
 * > This was only a one time limited email announcement message of new features
   > for Fast Secure Contact Form to existing Fast Secure users, letting them know
   > about the new options. The message was sent from the plugin directly, we are
   > not attempting to collect data.
 * Then why was this e-mail crafted the way it was? With a link to the vCita website
   to “unsubscribe” from the service…
 * Furthermore you write about vCita and how nice and well-behaved these people 
   are. That is all good and well, but why should I trust them that they won’t abuse
   my email address? Because they say so? Trusting them would have been a lot easier
   if they made another introduction, not by spamming me through your plugin. I 
   understand that the mail I received has been a collaboration between you and 
   vCita.
 * I hope this is all a one time only mistake and that all will be corrected in 
   the following update. I also hope you realize that, at least in my opinion, the
   tactics that were used, and are still being used, are not in accordance with 
   WordPress guidelines, and are not helping you to further the succes of your (
   until yesterday) great plugin.
 * I trust you will take all this to heart and do the right thing. I’m looking forward
   to your next message/update.
 * I wish you all the best and hope you make a lot of $$ with this plugin. It would
   be well deserved. But please, please find another way to do that, so I can confidently
   keep using the plugin. There are a lot of good examples out there that work really
   well, and that don’t violate user-trust.

   You have such a great plugin and it is such a pity to see things going like they
   do…

 * Your comments are to the point. I think Mike needs to have a look at the guidelines
   for having a plugin in the repository. They can be found here:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/guidelines/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/guidelines/)
 * In this state the plugin would initially not make it into the repository, and
   I feel it should be taken out if it stays like this.

 * Hi Crudhunter,
 * I saw your post on the same subject. It really offends me what is happening with
   my (until today) clean email address. Installing a plugin on a site you have 
   built with great care needs trust. You need to trust the author of the plugin.
   So far Mike has done a great job, he created a great plugin, he gave great support
   so he earned a lot of trust. This vCita thing is not a trust-building action,
   to say it mildly.
 * I still hope he will soon come with a message that he made a big mistake in going
   into business with vCita and that the plugin will be freed of this sort of thing.
   The last thing I need is a plugin in my website that can’t be trusted. If Mike
   feels he needs to make more money, why not make it a commercial plugin?
 * In the meantime I will have to look for an alternative, as I have no intention
   op updating my other websites and have the same result.
 * Any ideas someone?

   it?

 * Hi Remco,
 * I would like to see the iDeal plugin integrated in the “Fast Secure Contact Form”.
   This is a really great plugin for forms and has over 2 million downloads! You
   can find it [here](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-contact-form/).
 * Is this something you are considering for the future?

 * Hi Mike,
 * Thanks for your answer. I noticed that the mouse cursor changes into a hand when
   hovering the label. Clicking on the label results in changing the focus to that
   input element.
 * That is why I thought there might be some trick, or fancy html or CSS stuff that
   I could do to generate a tooltip.
 * Can you think of anything that might work in your current version of FSCF?
    And
   if it is not possible now, is this something you are considering for future versions?
 * Thanks again for a great plugin!
