 * So, we have been using this plugin just fine for months and all of the sudden
   you change it so that we must purchase the pro version. Very unprofessional thing
   to do to your customer…take away functionality that has been included and require
   that we send $40 to keep the same functionality that we have had. This plugin
   is gone.

 * Unfortunately you weren’t on the mailing list to get the announcement.
 * We did our best to contact every publisher, but as you can imagine it’s not possible
   to catch all. We also announced on our blog.
 * The PrintFriendly plugin from its inception has been advertisement supported.
   This allowed us to deliver value to publishers, like you, at a fantastic price–
   Free! Unfortunately,** we’ve been forced to discontinue advertising in the plugin**,
   so we are having to make some changes.
 * Starting Nov 22nd, the plugin will work a little different. Instead of generating
   the print preview using javascript in the browser, the preview will be generated
   from our domain, printfriendly.com.
 * This change will not affect the vast majority of websites. However, some websites
   will need to upgrade to PrintFriendly & PDF Pro.
 * Which websites need PrintFriendly & Pro?
    Password protected pages (ex: members
   only pages). Intranets, or sites not accessible from the internet. Sites using
   javascript to display content (ex. Angular/React applications)
 * What should I do to restore PrintFriendly & PDF functionality if my site is affected?
 * Simply [purchase Printfriendly & PDF](https://www.printfriendly.com/button/buy).
 * How can I check if my site is affected?
 * You can check by copy/pasting the URL of a post page (not a category or home 
   page) on [https://www.printfriendly.com/url-check](https://www.printfriendly.com/url-check).
 * What should I do if my site is not affected?
 * Nothing! You’re all set, no further action required.
 * Thanks for your support! We look forward to serving you in the future.
