Recensioni

What they call support is rather weird

Hanno 28 Febbraio 2025
There was another comment that I’m simply repeating here because it describes my situation exactly – after three years, nothing has changed:”They don’t test their plugin with the best/highest selling premium themes, so they have zero clue if their plugin will work with those themes or not. They just blindly hope that their plugin works and if it doesn’t, it’s the Theme’s fault only.”

Feature request: nofollow the guest author URL

Nima Shayanfar 5 Novembre 2024 1 risposta
The plugin works as advertised and is quite simple and handy. I have one request though. These days nofollowing the URL might be suitable for some admins. So it is missing.

Personal URL not working

Jin-Liang, Lin 30 Dicembre 2022
My site use the themes “Twenty Twenty-Two”. Custom URLs will not appear on the name.

Close to perfection

Its good, but didnt save the guest data so i have to write the same data over and over again

Support only Free themes

They don’t test their plugin with the best/higest selling premium themes, so they have zero clue if their plugin with work with those themes or not. They just blindly hope that their plugin works and if it doesn’t, it’s the Theme’s fault only.

Works as described

I am mostly writing this review to counter what was written here: crudoadmin — March 5, 2021 — Its a piece of junk In my experience, the URL, Description and Avatar boxes are only greyed out if you haven’t yet added an Author Name. If that first field (Name) is empty, then the other fields are disabled. This is to prevent people adding data to those other fields without providing an author name. Makes perfect sense to me. I suspect “crudoadmin” might not have taken the time to really test out what was going on. As for the plug-in itself … works well. Out theme was even able to pull in the image, URL, and description (in the same way it pulls in the image, URL, and Bio from a registered user/author). Which means this plug-in is storing that info in standard Wordpress fields, as opposed to making something up (which was the case with the Simply Guest Author plug-in, which we had to ditch for that very reason).
