Hi everyone,
I honestly can’t believe I’m gonna post after 15 months, but saw this and figured why not.
Less than 24 hour notice by Pinegrow only via Twitter, Facebook and the forum. But no actual announcement or courtesy by way of direct email to those whom are actually paying customers of the Wordpress version of Pinegrow or Theme Converter that will require ACF Pro for this feature?
I know I’ve said this before but you guys are not the best at product/feature launches or marketing. This certainly didn’t come off as a ‘caring presence’ effort for WP users to give opportunity for the ACF Pro deal before their pricing changed. If the new Block action was in development and was known to be released ‘very soon’, then it seems extremely odd that you guys would wait to announce 24 hours before the required ACF Pro pricing was changed and not let WP related customers know more directly in advance. Especially if this was your decision on how you would be moving forward with Gutenberg Blocks.
Not a very transparent effort, in contrast to what 2020 was supposedly promised by @matjaz .
The linked blog post above about pricing change for ACF Pro was only updated to include (9:00 am AEST) late today on February 23rd 2020. Probably only after @schpengle and everyone else in the western hemisphere contacted them late today and they realized they better clarify the time difference issue across timezones. Which is too little too late for most of us seeing this now. I’ve seen many reports of ACF Pro not honoring the time difference. So I guess instead of listening to the Pinegrow developers, users should of taken heed to @Roel back in August of 2019.
But that certainly begs the question how long was this actually being worked on by Pinegrow and why wait until the last 24 hours to let Pinegrow WP users know so indirectly when its then too late before the required ACF Pro price change? Sadly this seems somewhat indicative of the status quo “caring presence” and definitly not an example of being more transparent and open in 2020.
Hope everyone is doing well otherwise, its been a minute (657001 or so).
