No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Insta crashed my site as soon as it was activated. Just renamed the folder and was able to regain admin access and uninstall it, but obviously doesn’t work for me for some reason. Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cloudinary_url() (previously declared in /home1/sceniccoachtours/public_html/wp-content/plugins/auto-cloudinary/inc/helpers.php:11) in /home1/sceniccoachtours/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cloudinary-image-management-and-manipulation-in-the-cloud-cdn/lib/Helpers.php on line 414 There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.

    If you are using the Screenshots as instructions, it takes just 10 Minutes to make it work. Works for me out of the box with: + GeneratePress + WP Rocket Cache – Lazy Loader – HTML, CSS & JavaScript Combine + Minification + Foo Gallery & Foobox – Only the “visible” Images/Thumbnails. + Yuzo Related Post Thumbnails This topic was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by Maurice.
