I am writing to the hivepress team to give my humble opinion that I think it will be good for many users of this great plugin.
As I say, it is a magnificent Wordpress plugin but at the same time it is very difficult to understand how it works for the user who enters our website for the first time, so he does not know or know the options or the operation of the program.
1.- In my case I have observed that users enter and do not know well where to register for the first time because there is no clear button where to perform this task.
2.- Once the client user has registered, he does not perform any more tasks and leaves the platform. (That’s the most serious thing I’ve seen) because he doesn’t know that he also has to publish an ad to be seen or hired.
I have bought booking and marketplace.
I know it’s not difficult to understand, but if many people make the same mistake, it will be because something is wrong. I don’t think the whole world is naive.
3.- It would be of great help that once we have managed to get the user to create an account on our platform he immediately sees a window (FLOATING OR NOT) in which he is notified that it is not yet visible to book (in my case I have booking and maerketplace) so you must publish an ad. And it would be good if we put the button at your fingertips to take you to fill in the ad.
That way the client doesn’t escape without publishing what we want.
I hope you take it into account because this will be happening to more people and it is an improvement I think it is very urgent and you should at least take it into account.
Thank you anyway for the wonderful program you have created and what is even better, thank you for the support service you offer to all people like me who are struggling to move our project forward.
Regards.
