Improvements to the plugin

Hello Sir,
I used Badge Designer Lite (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/woo-badge-designer-lite) and created the most beautiful WooCommerce Badges. See example on my test website (https://dml.truesauce.com.ng/shop).

Everything was fine when I was using Phlox Theme on my live site. But somehow, Phlox Theme became unstable, and I switched to Blocksy Theme.

Suddenly the plugin doesn’t work with Blocksy Theme, and the developers of Blocksy Theme informed me that the problem is with the plugin– which uses outdated coding techniques (those were their words).

I was forced by this situation to look for another Badge plugin and yours seems to be the best I’ve found so far.

Yours seem to have the most Advanced Options ever possible. But I’d like to highlight 5 things that I think you should improve on:

1.) Live Badges, and not 2D: Badges created with your plugin looks like 2D.

What makes Badge Designer Badges beautiful is because they look like Live JPEG and PNG images. I don’t know how they did it, but the Badges looking like live Jpeg/Png images makes them beautiful.

Can you improve the Visual Appearance of your badges to look more Jpeg/png instead of looking like 2D?

2.) Icons to Badges: Badges created with Badge Designer are bundled with Font Awesome, Dash Icons, Elegant icons, Linearicons, and some other Icon Packs. See screenshot– https://prntscr.com/10t1phi

So we are able to create Badges and assign icons before the Text, from these icon services.

You can see examples from my test website. The Badges have icons before the Text.

Can you add this feature to your plugin as well?

3.) Coner Badges. If you check my Exclusive, Regular, Classic and Vintage badges, you will see that they have a Coner, or a Fold.

Can you add option for this kind of Badge?

For more inspiration, you may install the Badge Designer Lite plugin, test it, study it, to see how it works, and how it was created to be able to do this function.

4.) Custom SVG Badges: Can you add option for us to upload Custom SVG Badges?

I’m able now, to load SVG directly to WordPress.

Can you make it possible to upload our custom created SVG Badge and assign it to any product of our choice?

5.) How long do you plan to support this plugin?

And what’s your Long Term Plan for the continued existence of the plugin when you leave this world?

Please, don’t take this question the wrong way. The reason why this question is asked, is because you seem to be an individual and not a Company.

And individual plugins don’t take long to become abandonware in the WordPress repository. So I asked this question to ascertain if you are really committed to this plugin for the next 10 years to come.

If you now understand my reason, the question is then asked again:

How long do you plan to support this plugin?

And what’s your Long Term Plan for the continued existence of the plugin when you leave this world?

Needing to hear from you soon.

Regards.

Hi,

1. I think you have such feelings because you use those label shapes on first products on your page https://dml.truesauce.com.ng/shop/. I check other labels styles and don’t find any other specific styles that can create such an effect. So what about shapes – I am planning to add some additional ones in the near future.

2. Yes, it is in the to-do list and has higher priority.

3. Yes, as I mention in the first answer I am planning to add new label shapes.

4. Well, the PRO plugin version has a feature to upload custom images and use them as labels. Also, as I know, there are some special WordPress plugins that give you the option to upload SVGs via media uploader as like standard images. So in such a way you can upload SVG and use it as a label.

5. Well nobody knows what to expect in the next 10 years. I just can say that for now I have serious intentions towards this plugin. For example, I have another plugin that has regular updates during 5 years. I think this must say something about how seriously I take this.

Regards

Hello Sir Illid,
You are one of the awesome people I know from now in WordPress. You took your time to answer my questions and I’m impressed.

I finally installed your plugin, and Hmm, I think its Ok. I’ve formatted my site to try a new Theme and your plugin. I think it worked well.

I look forward to Icon Badges https://prnt.sc/10t1phi and the Shapes you are proposing, and I’m hoping that you will achieve these 2 features before the end of this year.

Hi,

For now it is possible to use PNG,JPEG,GIF or SVG images as product labels with the PRO plugin version.

So I think you question is more about addition label shapes. I am currently looking on what shapes is better to implement and that will looks better.

Regards
