a lot og bugs with the last version 2.8, broke my website, i cant use my plugin formidable forms.
S3 function doesn’t work and the tech support takes forever to repsond. Don’t waste your time on it.
I have the free version of this plugin, and it is possible to change the size of the video. Also, some other things like an endless loop.
And I had a support question, it was resolved within 3 days.
Thanks!!!
The majority of the reviews/stars here are fake.
This plugin will not work. I tried on different types of posts/pages, with different types of media to the same result. nothing. I have a conventional WordPress 6.6.2 setup, no weird configs, just straight out of the box on a conventional wp shared hosting account.
I realize that support is not available on unpaid accounts, but if the plugin does not work at all, it is just a dud. and a scammy way to force people to upgrade to the paid service.
If that is what you want bplugins llc then do not offer the free version, just say “only paid version available”, I understand the need to make money but being a tease is wasting everyones time.
definitely do not waste your time with this plugin ( I would avoid the paid version just as well, since scammy companies are scamming wether or not you pay.)
yes if you can’t tell I am pissed.
My favorite service of this kind thus far. Thanks so much!
