Displaying 1 To 17 Of 17 Comments Shopp Releases Version 1.2 Of Their E-Commerce Plugin @Jonathan Davis – WOW, I usually check the “notify me” box, but I must have skipped it on this post. I don’t think I ever used the word “hate” in my post or given the impression that I “hate” your plugin or team. My post was saying that I had tried you plugin and had experience using it, but that I found something that worked better, after all this is a discussion. I also cited specific examples of why I felt this way. While I would love it, no one at Woo is “personally handhold”ing me, though that would be great. But…they do answer my questions when asked, which is something new to me after using shop for a while. Again, I don’t hate you or your team, and I wish you well. I’m also not angry at you. I also don’t lack respect for you or your team. That being said, I’ve found something that wonderfully meets my needs, and I think that needs to be said. I hope you become a competitor to woo eventually. » Posted By rgregory On March 8, 2012 @ 2:09 PM Unfortunately I have to disagree with your Shopp Plugin opinions. I was there with them from the beginning. I listened to your interview with Jonathan Davis and bought the plugin the next day. It was OK and met my meager needs at the time, but as the shop was used, I found I needed more than it could give me almost as soon as it hit a live environment. I was really disappointed as I had high hopes. At first you had access to the developer himself and some great answers on the forum. Eventually Jonathan stopped doing support and the forum became USELESS. Then a new system of support started with a ticket system and anything I asked for support with “wasn’t covered in the ticket system” and was shot out to the useless forum. At the same time, developer level license holders were given a separate forum, again lowering the level of knowledgeable support available. I have since switched to woocommerce and couldn’t be happier with the switch. Support is FANTASTIC and the developer listens to you, it’s really been an eye opener. When they consider problems and react by changing the code to solve them based on user support, you’ve got a winner. I own two SHOPP licenses and I only wish woocommerce would have been available before so I could have spent that money on plugins to extend it instead. » Posted By rgregory On February 14, 2012 @ 10:12 AM Things To Look For In WordPress 3.3 Beta 1 Thanks for the write up, I’ve been looking for this info on the web and couldn’t find it. Looking forward to the new version and the uploader is gonna make things easier. Thanks again for the heads up. » Posted By rgregory On October 12, 2011 @ 8:18 AM Jeff, Glad to see this plugin getting some play on your site. Seems to be a bit of venom in the posts here, but I was glad to see you posting about it. @donnacha of WordSkill, I think free is free in this case. You could run a simple shop with paypal and have everything you need. I think the plugins are reasonable if you are going to make money with something, it’s worth spending a bit. We’re not talking about a typical wordpress plugin that gives you pretty galleries here. I have used the shopp plugin for a few years now and loathe it. It went from slightly buggy with mediocre to poor support to buggy with dismal support as they expanded. Every support request get’s labeled with “not covered in support try the forums”. The forums are USELESS as well. I can’t wait to try the Woo plugin as I have a customer using shopp that needs a redesign in the next few months. I’ve been using woo for about a year and look forward to the experience. Since I was planning on paying $200 for it (like some of the other premium themes there) I couldn’t be happier with the way they’ve rolled it out. Though I’m not a subscription member, so my view might be quite different from theirs. » Posted By rgregory On September 30, 2011 @ 10:47 AM WPTavern Is My Home And You’re Just A Guest Wow, reading this post was kinda like watching a slow motion car crash. Time to get over the grumps man. Things are tough all over. I can’t think of a job that doesn’t require you to bite the bullet once in a while. If you’re not getting paid and it’s no fun, the choice is obvious. Hope you get it figured out before another post like this. » Posted By rgregory On August 31, 2010 @ 11:50 PM Special WPTavern Only PluginBuddy Sale the discounted price which would entitle you access to all future products developed by PluginBuddy as well as lifetime support. I think you may have this wrong, unless the lifetime part is special to this offer. The site says it’s good for One year of support and upgrades » Posted By rgregory On June 28, 2010 @ 9:49 PM What a great idea, I’ve always wanted to build my sites locally and then just pop them on the net! I wish them luck. » Posted By rgregory On March 4, 2010 @ 2:36 PM PremiumThemes.net Club Membership Winners Sorry, l just found it in my spam folder. Thanks guys! » Posted By rgregory On November 23, 2009 @ 2:00 PM R.Bhavesh, I haven’t received mine yet? I’m very excited to have a look around them. Can I do anything to help speed it up? » Posted By rgregory On November 23, 2009 @ 1:43 PM PremiumThemes.net Club Membership Giveaway I’d give it a break for a while and keep plugging away until you get the break you are looking for or sell the site. It’s obvious that you really love and want to run a successful WP news site, it’s also becoming obvious that you are frustrated with the lack of revenue from the site. The news items have slowed to a crawl and the podcasts lack your previous enthusiasm and attention to detail. I really love the podcast and look forward to it every week, I hope you get it figured out and can make a go of it. Maybe your site sale could bring you a profit and you could rebrand yourself once you figure out what you want to become? » Posted By rgregory On November 6, 2009 @ 10:42 PM Paid Membership Being Applied To The Forum I find Justin Tadlocks forum the best $25 bucks I have EVER spent. I know Jeff knows how it works, but for anyone who hasn’t been, it’s $25 a year to join. Now anyone can go, but you have to be a member to see Justin’s answers/posts. He only answers questions about his work, but it’s great. I consider it invaluable as a user of hybrid themes. I’m sure it requires a fair amount of effort on his part to answer the forums, but I can’t imagine a better model. Maybe you could hire some folks to answer support questions? Split the profits with them? I’d pay $25 a year for that, but I’d have expectations. $90 a year though… » Posted By rgregory On October 6, 2009 @ 10:51 AM @Jeffro – That’s great news Jeffro! » Posted By rgregory On October 6, 2009 @ 8:57 AM WOW. That’s the most disappointing thing I’ve heard all day, of course it’s still early. Perhaps you are looking at it all wrong. Maybe you should start producing something that folks want to buy. Along with the numerous premium plugins (which I think are great) this continues to herald the beginning of the end of WordPress as we know it. Paying for a forum to discuss free software? » Posted By rgregory On October 6, 2009 @ 8:14 AM I think the glass needs some sort of logo on it? Maybe a sort of WPT? Or even just an overlay of the wordpress logo? Not sure how far you can go IP wise. » Posted By rgregory On May 15, 2009 @ 11:40 AM SitePoint Gives Primer On Parent Child Themes @Jeffro – I mean that I have seen things on the themeshaper site that show up in themehybrid shortly thereafter. ie, the widget areas map, and then the stripped down minimalistic style that the framework will come in soon. » Posted By rgregory On May 7, 2009 @ 5:09 PM I started working with Thematic a while ago, but soon discovered Hybrid and have not looked back. Hybrid offers many more features built in and I just plain like it better. Though Hybrid seems to be taking it’s cues Thematic. » Posted By rgregory On May 7, 2009 @ 2:45 PM Scott Berkun Gives Thumbs Up To WordPress 2.7 Free plugins are what makes WP a success. We don’t need more premium options, we need more competent people contributing high quality work. It’s out there, you just have to keep up. » Posted By rgregory On March 19, 2009 @ 10:16 AMComments Posted By rgregory
