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.

    Cannot contact support for error message as below. This unresolved makes ClientPortal unfortunately a worthless plugin. Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the client-portal domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later.

    Amazing plugin, amazing support. It’s enabled me to get a great client area up and running. Fitted my requirements perfectly when I used it with their other plugin ‘Profile Builder’. Thanks! This topic was modified 4 years ago by mattystrya.

    The newest version does not work as I expected. It is more complicated and confusing while I edit user data. This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by Liang.

    It simply couldn’t create pages. Even when I create a duplicate of my theme’s page.php and name it single-private-page.php. Every other page on my site could see the new page template and I could decide to use it if i want to. BUT the private pages created by your plugin doesn’t use it. Instead it’s making use of the single.php template. I even disabled every other plugin just to make sure there’s no interference anywhere but yet it keeps making use of the single.php by generating user specific blog post instead of making use of the single-private-page.php to create a user specific private page. It’s kinda disappointing cos I’ve spent a great amount of time trying to get it to work 🙁 Edit: well, after about two days of trying I decided to change theme, and it seems to be rendering properly. Upgrading the stars. I thought this is suppose to work with any theme. And also in future update, it’ll be great if you just make it use the page.php by default. Thanks.
