Hi there. Sorry to hear your frustration, however I think you may be confusing this plugin with some other piece of functionality. As far as I am aware this specific plugin is not required by any other plugins/themes. Are you perhaps thinking of the default WordPress admin dashboard?
NO not all: I know exactly what I was saying.
1 Example: There was one contact form plug-in or something like that I had installed to test out and as you would know how the updates work in the plugin area this particular plugin (where the update link is) requested an update but (had the link to install DD there instaed) stated it was (don’t remember word for word but it went something like this) we are now inline with Dev Dashboard(DD) and forced DD to be installed and activated for it be updated.
This contact plug-in I was looking for about a week and never required DD before and then all of sudden it would do without it so I uninstalled that plugin.
There was another one a while back which I also deleted for the same reason but didn’t pay much attention to it at the time thinking it would only work with DD but now this plugin did the same so gone it is.
SO yes I do know what I am talking about.
Cheers
Interesting. In that case would you mind please sharing the names of those plugins so I can investigate?
HI..
I just got another one of these and took a screenshot of it but can’t upload a file in here so here is a link to it instaed.
This is becoming very annoying as I don’t want to use DEV.
Are all plugins going to do this?
ALSO: Dev was never required when I installed this which means this is only recently done by the plugin developers, My question is WHY as it will only mean you get uninstalled.
Cheers

This is most definitely not my plugin. This is referring to WPMU Dev Dashboard and Appointments Lite, not my plugin, WP Dev Dashboard.

I don’t remember stating this was your plug-in, As per your request in the quote above,, and as I deleted the other plug-ins that did the same and don’t remember exactly which ones they where, I had to wait till it happened again as it did with this one.
But all say the same thing, you need to install the DEV plug-in for these to be updated.
NOW weather this is a developer thing or a dev thing either way it’s wrong as we are being FORCED to purchase a plug-in we DON’T want if we want to keep using these other plug-ins. How many more are there going to be like this,, your using a plug-in for some time and then all of a sudden it decides to do this. Makes no sense and nor is it right.
Cheers
