 * Earlier I marked it one star as everything had stopped working due to the error
   generated by the plugin. Turned out it was not due to the plugin but the malware
   attacked the admin area.
 * I am taking my words back and apologizing to the author of the plugin. As a developer
   myself I can feel his pain. Therefore I am reviewing my comment and updating 
   it.
 * Once again, this is a great plugin for writing SEO based headings.

 * Hello [@kadnan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kadnan/),
 * I’m sorry if this comes over as a little offensive, I apologize. But I’d like
   to move things into perspective.
 * I enjoy supporting everyone who has problems with my plugin(s). However, “reviews”
   like this make me turn my back on the entire WordPress plugin development community
   entirely.
 * You downloaded a plugin that I’ve been maintaining for almost 9 (!) years, free
   of charge, with no bullshit “Buy the PRO version now!” ads that render a plugin
   almost useless unless you buy the pro version.
 * I never did that.
 * In the little free time I have, learning how to handle guns, with a dedication
   to resolving issues of the users of my plugin as far as I can. You can read that
   in the vast majority of people who liked not only the plugin but also click around
   for a few minutes and then ran into an error that I have never been made aware
   of, as you can see in the support forum where there’s never been any mention 
   of this.
 * You created your [WP.org account in 2012](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kadnan/),
   and since then (according to your profile), the only ever written review was 
   for Secondary Title, and you gave it 1 star, even without being able to test 
   the plugin itself.
 * For this kind of problem, we have support threads. If you skim through only a
   few of the reviews, you’ll see that I try my utmost best to support users of 
   my plugins who have any issues — again, free of charge, simply because I feel
   responsible for the software I create.
 * **It’s very unfortunate that you bypassed the support thread section or even 
   sent me an email telling me about your relatively vague problem** (What latest
   PHP version? Official ones, Early Access ones?) instead of tackling this issue
   as a technical problem fix it (not only for you but also for other users of this
   plugin who might experience something a similar situation.
 * This is called constructive criticism. What you’re doing with your review is 
   the complete opposite. Instead of tackling the issue, you resort to destroying(
   yes, it’s that harmful) the plugin altogether without ever having the chance 
   to test it.
 * Let me be frank: Reviews like this are the reason I slowly lost interest in the
   WP.org community, which I had grown very fond of in the beginning when I started
   developing plugins. I do it for free, in the little spare time I can find while
   still being busy enough with a full-time job, and I
 * **Long story short:** You have every right to post a negative review if you don’t
   like my plugin. From a developer’s perspective, however, I find it deeply offensive
   to jump right to a conclusion without lifting a finger to notify the plugin author
   of the issue you’re facing and give him a chance to fix it without ruining his
   plugin ratings.
 * **Obviously, I’m going to look at this issue you’ve mentioned**, despite you 
   giving very little to no information about how it happened or what you thought
   happened. You didn’t even mention the PHP version you use (“the latest” says 
   not much since there are early-access candidates
 * It’d only be fair if you waited for your review until you a) tested the plugin
   and b) (more importantly) notified me of the issue in the support forum. The 
   issue would have been fixed via a hot patch, but you gave me no chance and gave
   the worst vote for a plugin over 15,000 people are happy with.
 * However, I hope you’ll change your review and at least give me time to fix the
   issue at hand. If not, well, it’ll be just another discouragement for keeping
   my plugins updated, safe, and most importantly in the end: working flawlessly.
 * **Nonetheless, thank you for taking the short time to see things from my perspective.**
   I dearly hope instead of being against each other, we could work together and
   improve Secondary Title. If you’re willing to do that, I’m more than willing 
   to listen to what users have to say.
 * Cheers,
 * Kolja

 * [@thaikolja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thaikolja/) I agree w/ you.

 * [@kadnan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kadnan/) Thank you very much for
   changing your point of view; not many people would openly admit to that. That
   shows that you have integrity.
 * I’m always in favor of criticism, so if you have any, I’m still more than happy
   to hear it.
