Such a shame this isn’t in the .org repository anymore. So many useless plugins 
here and this one is removed…

### 󠀁[Awesome!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-6511/)󠁿

Hi, I have read the entire documentation, installed a dedicated WP server for the
plugin and managed to get the licensing and distributing the packages properly. 
Now I am going to set up/test the repository! 🙂 I did have some issues others where
having regarding licensing, but it was a server configuration issue. In my case,
I am using nginx, and I did not set-up rewrite rules correctly. It did take some
time to debug, but with time and patience, so far so good! Thank you very much for
developing this plugin! It is exactly what we needed!

option. Thank you!!

The author responded quickly and fixed the issue with packages not being downloaded
from gitlab in less then a day. Thank you for this awesome plugin and your quick
response.

### 󠀁[Amazing support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-support-237/)󠁿

 [motivmedia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/motivmedia/) August 22, 2018

Granted, the first reply to my support question went unnoticed for a while. But 
one has to take into consideration that this is a rather niche plugin, there were
no previous support requests here and the developer states that support is mainly
via direct mail or GitHub. When the reply came the author was apologetic (although
it was my fault!). The author was incredibly forthcoming and helpful way beyond 
what I expected. It’s hard to find payed plugins with that level of support – and
this one’s free. Oh, and it obviously helps that the plugin works as intended 🙂
It is very useful and a real time saver if one has to roll out private plugins to
a lot of sites.
