You lost me the moment you asked for credit card information despite all options being set for free. You don’t need that info until I make a purchase.In other words, the free version requires you to submit your credit card info before you can even utilize the plugin. In a world where shady practices are rampant, you shouldn’t use scams as a blueprint for how to do business, even if you were legit. Appearances are everything, and asking for access to a payment method despite having $0 owed is north of shady in 2024.Would rather import Google Calendar at that rate.

“We are writing to inform you about an important update to the features of our Free Plan, which will take effect on August 15th, 2024. As of this date, the event limit for Free Plan accounts will be set to 25 events.” I started using this calendar a few years back and it was good. Couple years ago they “upgraded” into something difficult to use, but I reluctantly kept it. Now they want money for this turd. Bye.

“We are writing to inform you about an important update to the features of our Free Plan, which will take effect on August 15th, 2024. As of this date, the event limit for Free Plan accounts will be set to 25 events.” Worst decision ever…. I will switch to another calender plugin.

I set up Time.ly for a client in December 2023. It was a simple calendar and all was well. Unfortunately I was unaware of the strange business practice to delete an account if it wasn’t logged into regularly. This seems high maintenance and unnecessary. I did receive emails warning me of this, but they had gone to my spam filter so I didn’t know this was coming. So my client’s calendar was deleted and we will now have to start from scratch. Customer support just advised me to create a new account. No thank you. I will be looking elsewhere for a calendar plugin.

The original (legacy) version of this plugin was superior to what’s on offer currently. We currently utilise the legacy plugin on over a hundred client platforms integrated with an ICS feed. They do not support legacy users that have used the old plugin for years. They’ve collapsed all of the functionality related to importing events, etc. overnight. Their support is non-responsive and largely unhelpful when faced with reality. We have previously attempted to transition one of our clients to the newer version of the plugin which is now solely hosted on their website and iframed on the WP Dashboard. Unfortunately, this proved to be impractical due to significant design and development limitations, as well as decreased flexibility compared to the older version, and significant increase in cost for less features. As such, migrating all platforms to the new version does not make sense nor is it feasible for us. We utmost highly recommend seeking an alternative calendar plugin and avoiding future issues.

What a shame, I have been using the Timely All In One Events calendar for 10 years, almost since it’s beginning. Back then support answered you immediately and helped out with many queries and suggestions. You could stay that us early users helped them develop the product. I was rewarded with full access to all the features. It became one of the main features of my website, I put 100’s of hours into creating events (all third party), I could allow people to post there events on my site. Then after a few years, without warning, they removed my access. I contacted support, at least they answered, but they said they had developed a new product, they were still running the old product but I’d have to pay again for it. I had to streamline functionality and purchase the the pasteboard add-on, but my hours and hours of work were’t lost and the calendar continued to be a major feature on my site. Now, without warning, they have removed access to my old version of the plugin and forced me to download the new one. It is useless, it doesn’t have half the feature and the content editor is only available with an upgrade. Prior to being told I had to install the new version, they told me they had migrated all of my events, which are repeated year on year so all I needed to do was change the dates. They didn’t, they only migrated seven events, 100’s of hours of work lost. They won’t reply to my requests for help, they are not interested. I have lost one of the main sources of income for my site. It’s such a shame, it was such a good product and they used to have good support. Now they are only interested in chasing the corporate bucks. These sort of companies shouldn’t be allowed to advertise on wordpress.
