 * this plugin sucks,
    Why do you change the value of the php variable “max_execution_time”?
 * Where have you learned to program?
 * It affects the operation of the rest of the plugins, the configuration of the
   hosting, and the whole wordpress
 * this plugin should be banned
 * if (! ini_get (‘max_execution_time’) || ini_get (‘max_execution_time’) <300) {
 * ini_set (‘max_execution_time’, 300);
 * $ disabled = explode (‘,’, ini_get (‘disable_functions’));
    if (! in_array (‘
   set_time_limit’, $ disabled)) { set_time_limit (300); } }

 * Do you have your own plugin you wanna promote ? The plugin is free and clearly
   does not suck. max_execution_time is not a crime.

 * Changing a value of the php configuration is a crime, because that value should
   not be touched by a plugin. Not only does it put the security of the page at 
   risk, but it also affects other plugins, that value change is always executed,
   in the admin, on the web, in cli mode, you have not even had the decency to put
   it on a hook optional.
 * this plugins sucks and the worst thing is that you are bad programmers, accept
   the error when they tell you and solve it would have been normal,
 * not only do not solve it, you also justify it
