Greetings Caroline,

Thank you for timely reply. Yes, the support team did reach out to me and explain a bit more about the reasons for the price increase …and a bit more, for which I am grateful. I’m assuming I missed your blog post announcing the change and the reasoning behind it, but on the off chance that you did not think to announce such a major change, think of the confusion it causes to OUR clients.

Yes, I do understand that you have “the right” to change your prices, however again I did not get (or missed) any notice of the change, nor did I think “Hey I’ve got some free time, let me go and read your terms and conditions”. Silly me.

That said, from time to time the plugin developers I use have had to raise their prices for the same reasons you stated, but in most cases those price increases were applied to new customers and those who purchased prior to the change were “grandfathered in”. Or they offer additional support options. You chose not to do that, so be it.

What it still comes down to is that we are basically buying the plugin again at nearly retail price (-14.00 for the Business License). That, I have NOT seen. Anywhere. And as one who has used support “maybe” a handful of times over the years I’ve used your plugin, this does not add value to my experience. I must take that into consideration when considering whether to continue using this application.

But thanks again for reaching out.

Hey George,

Yep, I widgetized the area. It’s all good.

No, Im not so much “disappointed” as “surprised” by the lack of shortcodes.

Event Rocket: I looked at that before posting here. What stopped me was this statement by the plugin author…

1) I recommend you stop using it
As of the 3.9 release, Events Calendar PRO ships with its own shortcode that is, essentially, a port of [event_rocket_calendar]:

so….

At any rate, I’ll likely add my $0.02 on UserVoice.

Thanks Again,
Preston

Ok George,

So it sounds like there is no way to limit the count of events shown via a shortcode (w/o hacking at core). So I guess this leaves creating a new widgetized area. Not a deal breaker. But I must say, with such a fabulous plugin, I’m a bit “taken aback” by the *cough* primitive *cough* approach to shortcodes. Maybe there is a reason beyond my understanding as to why there are so few options.

Anyway, widgetized area it is.

Thanks for responding.

Typo: First line should read: I’m using the mini calendar on front-page.php like so:

That will do it! Thanks Brian!
