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.

    The guy is a scammer you can’t do anything unless you pay him 15.00 kick him off the site. Wasted my time and once I uninstalled it messed my site up.

    hello, Im using the Envision theme – none of the pages show up in the feed after installation, so unfortunately doesnt seem to work for every theme. Pity, hope developer can offer this for other themes, thanks. This topic was modified 9 years, 3 months ago by richard.

    Some people say this plugin is useless, but they don’t seem to be reading the description. If you want pages to be added to your existing feeds, this plugin will do that. No settings or configuration. Just activate and go. Some additional features are in the pro version, but 30,000+ users find the free version useful enough to keep it active. You can’t argue with the numbers! 🙂

    This is a very useful plugin. It fills yet another gap where the core WordPress folks make a distinction between posts and pages but nobody else does! Installed without errors, works as advertised. I find the free version most useful. Thanks.
