Poorly coded mess
by erdeme61·10 months ago
This version is stable. Don’t buy or try the pro plugin. That plugins code is garbage and it crashes everything.

Works as a start but doesn’t include featured images
by whoaitsaimz·11 months ago
I have to go in and manually edit each post as this plugin doesn’t pull in the main image from Patreon. I would expect it to pull the image as a featured image in WP. It does pull in the images from the body of the post which is great. Also seems to use Classic editor instead of blocks / Gutenberg by default, which is not a big deal but also something I update when I go in to edit.
it doesn’t pull videos that are the main part of my Patreon posts either, so I do have to manually embed them in WP. I understand this may be a bigger development task as Patreon supports a number of different video types, but it would be nice to at least have, say, a raw URL link of whatever is in my Patreon posts either so I do t have to keep cross referencing.
It stopped working out of nowhere

It stopped working on my 2 hostings, and support doesn’t provide a solution.
It doesn’t work
by malbuquerque306·1 year ago
It has conflicts with UM plugin, making it useless (page/post is visible by any means regardless tier is selected).
