Hi @swcomm!
We apologize for the frustration this change, which was introduced in the last versions of the plugin, must have caused you. We do understand that this is not a popular decision but we analyzed the product sustainability and growth and in order to further support the innovation and development we appeal to our users to further support our work by either recommending our product if they like it or financially via paying for the PRO version. Moreover please consider that Feedzy is a customer-funded project and without Premium product sales we can’t provide any updates whatsoever to the free product.
If you think that Feedzy does not provide enough value to use it, I do understand, and with the support of those that will do, we hope to increase the value over time thru new features to make it worth it for you too.
Thank you for understanding and have a great day ahead!

Well, this doesn’t really answer my question about the mandatory opt-in in WP plugin guidelines. I’ll just switch to another RSS import plugin. If I needed the features in your Pro version, I’d buy it, but I don’t need them and I don’t think this is a very good method to try and force users to buy something. Your annual Pro fee is simply too high for the non-profit organizations I work with.
