Hi X X,
The version I had to work with was IgnitionDeck Crowd Funding (IDCF) in combination with the Fundify theme. See : IgnitionDeck Crowdfunding (IDCF)
After visiting the current ID page, I see they now have two options for the plugin; Echelon and Enterprise, so it looks like they have reengineered the plugin(s) and the whole thing could have been improved since the last time I had to work with it. But like I mentioned before, for me the whole experience at that time was not great and that is an understatement.
There is also a big jump in price between Echelon and Enterprise (149.- vs 449.-) and the free version on WP gets a rating around 45% Bad and 50% Good, leaving 5% as “meh”, so it’s still a 50/50 % change that your experience will either be great or frustrating. For me that is not enough to dive in and open my wallet at a minimum of 149 or a whopping 449 for a year of “support and updates”.
My advice would be to only buy, and try, this plugin if you have a decent amount of funding set aside for your project. That way you know that you can modify and tweak the plugin and theme for your specific use case, and believe me, you will always have a need to tweak/extend with any plugin/theme you buy a license for.
If that is not the case, be cautious when opening your wallet and perform your “due diligence”. Send out a couple of emails to the ID dev’s with very specific questions and see how long it takes for them to answer and also look at what the depth of their response is.
WPMU is terrible. At first sight you think you get a lot of bang for your buck, but most of their plugins are “tweaked” versions of plugins that where developed by other dev’s, or they simply do not work great when combined with each other.
Compare that with WooCommerce. You can see that the price for WooCommerce extensions can add up really fast, but at least Automattic, Skyverge and the other dev’s do talk with each other to guarantee that things work straight out of the box.
Hope that my answer helped . If you want to know something else, just let me know.
Hi X X
Ignitiondeck looks promising, but believe me i have worked with it and it is not intuitive/user friendly at all. That plus the fact that support is slow in answering tickets/questions and sometimes is just plain rude, does not make this plugin a great experience to work with.
There is also something with accepting separate payments. If you are looking to setup payments for only yourself (as the owner of the site or the adminstrative party), no problem. If you want others to have their idea/project funded via your site and receive the funds into their own account, you are stuck with having to own an enterprise license.
Lastly, the documentation is a nightmare, with plugin abbreviations that confuse the h*ll out of you and unclear instructions on how to move forward.
So, to not spend anymore time on this horrible, overpriced piece of php code, let me end with noting that it where the two most frustrating weeks I spend on a project up till now.
Now the question remains; what’s a good alternative for IgnitionDeck.
My answer: no idea…
Hi @Muhabub_Ullah
Having no idea if you ever seen Karate Kid, but here’s a slightly rephrased scene from the movie:
Miyagi: Now, ready?
Daniel: Yeah, I guess so.
Miyagi: Daniel-san, must talk.
Miyagi: Walk on road, hhmmm? Walk left side, safe. Walk right side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later you get squished.
Miyagi: Get squish just like grape. Here, plugins, same thing. Either you plugins do “yes” or plugins do “no.” You plugins do “guess so”, (…and get squished.)
Miyagi: just like grape. Understand?
Daniel: Yeah, I understand.
Miyagi: Now, ready?
Daniel: Yeah, I’m ready.”
Miyagi: Great! Now reread the original post. And Daniel-san; remember, rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat.
Have a great weekend!
@tech_radar Don’t go there…
To @Ruffo_Valiente, and anyone else for that matter.
Do NOT send ANY information about ANYTHING else you might have to anyone else, not even your own mother.
To quote Kaspersky “Passwords are like underwear:
Share with no one, change often, choose complexity.”That also applies to license keys, your bank account, EIN number and any other sensitive personal information. The world wide webs is a great place, but just like the real world their are predatory people who are willing to rob and abuse others
@7h3h Please keep an eye out on tech care. My suggestion would be a official warning and after a repeat (phishing/social engineering) offense a perm ban.
Since I was busy I created a full blown plugin to remove the license nag.
No idea if a link to Dropbox is appreciated here, but in case not, here are the steps.
1: create a directory (folder) and give it a name. I.e. “remove-yoast-seo-premium-license-nag-from-admin” (do not add the beginning ” and closing ” !);
2: in this directory create a file and give it a name. I.e “remove-yoast-seo-premium-license-nag-from-admin”;
2a: make sure the file end with .php I.e. “remove-yoast-seo-premium-license-nag-from-admin.php”;
3: add the following content to your “remove-yoast-seo-premium-license-nag-from-admin.php file::<?php /** * Plugin Name: Remove Yoast SEO Premium License Nag * Plugin URI: https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo-premium/ * Description: Removes the Yoast SEO Premium license nag from your WordPress Dashboard. If you like this plugin buy a license key and receive support. * Author: !yoast_de_valk * Author URI: https://yoast.com/about-us/joost-de-valk/ * Version: 1.0.0 * License: GPL2+ */ /** * Prevent direct access to files * * @since 1.0 */ if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit; // Exit if accessed directly /** * Nothing fancy here, just some css injection into the WordPress admin head */ // remove yoast premium seo nag from admin dashboard function remove_yoast_license_nag_from_admin_page() { echo '<style> div.error { display: none; } </style>'; } add_action('admin_head', 'remove_yoast_license_nag_from_admin_page');4: save the file and its content;
5: zip the directory (folder);
6: install it to WordPress like any other “regular” plugin;
7: Activate the plugin;
8: done.Hope this helps.

Hi,
add this to your functions.php
// remove yoast premium seo nag from admin dashboard add_action('admin_head', 'remove_yoast_license_nag_from_admin_page'); function remove_yoast_license_nag_from_admin_page() { echo '<style> div.error { display: none; } </style>'; }A more elegant and theme switching proof way would be to create a plugin and add the content in there. Try pluginception to create one.
Hope that helps
