What are the differences between the Plus version of your plugins and the "Non-Plus" version?
The Plus versions allows the schedule to be printed.
The Plus versions allows for an optional title page for the printed schedule. The title page gives the website the ability to include their brand and marketing information.
The Plus version has improved numeric editing. Thousand separators are inserted as your user types which makes it easier to enter large numbers.
The Plus version includes all PHP and CSS source code, but not the JavaScript source code.
The Plus version sends to my site the domain name you install it on. I may link to your site to provide an example of the plugin's use. (The plugin collects no other information.)
And, for now, the Plus version includes many more configuration and styling options.
I'm happy to offer support for all my plugins. If you have a question or face an issue, please go to the WordPress plugin's support forum and leave your question.
Please specify if you are using the original plugin or the "Plus" plugin. Also, if possible, please provide a link to a page where you have installed the plugin. Providing a link to the page where the issue occurs may help me to resolve it faster.
Lastly, this plugin is free (for now), but...
If you install any "Plus" plugin on a public facing website, you are required to provide a public citation. A citation does not need to be a link to this site (though it may be). It could be a published review on WordPress.org or other site, or a social media mention with link. If you are not sure, ask. An annual subscription could be introduced with a future update. It is expected to be $499. Whether a subscription fee is introduced depends largely on the compliance with the request for a citation.
