A historic plugin that is still useful

I have been using it for many years and have always been very happy with it. It allows you to turn WordPress into an online community. Fantastic!

Beautiful, but….?

The user interface is one of the best out there, but there is no documentation or user guide anywhere to be found. Moving on, sadly.

کدنویسی افتضاح

متاسفانه پر از باگ هست. چون در حال استفاده بود، مجبورم کلی باگ فاجعه ازش بگیرم ..تا بتونم ادامه بدم. به هیچ عنوان استفاده نکنید.

بدرد نخور

افزونه دارای ایرادات فنی بسیار زیادی هست و حیف این همه زمان که برای نصب افزونه گذاشتیم و حیف این همه زمان که برای برنامه نویسیش گذاشته شده
