No-Bot Registration 2.4 – Improved translation support

Another quick update for No-Bot Registration. Version 2.4 improves the formatting of the username blacklist. A few missing translation strings were added and the plugin now supports the more modern way of translation where the plugin slug must match the translation slug.

This also means that added translations should now ‘just’ work.

Compatible with ClassicPress

No-Bot Registration, like most of my plugins, is fully compatible with ClassicPress. ClassicPress is an excellent alternative for WordPress, especially if you do not like the Gutenberg block editor or the general direction WordPress as a platform is headed in. This website uses ClassicPress and has done so since 2021. It looks and feels like WordPress and can even use most of its plugins and themes.

AdRotate Professional Lite

To accomodate the low-budget group of users from AdRotate a new license type has been introduced – AdRotate Professional Lite. In its basic form this is simply a Single License. Except with AdRotate Professional Lite a few features have been removed from the plugin.

It is a lower license tier after all.

AdRotate Professional Lite does not get Ticket Support, check the knowledge base and manuals in it to figure out how to use AdRotate. On top of that, AdRotate Geo is not supported. And remote stats collecting (Through Matomo and Google Analytics) has been removed as well as a few advertiser related features. You can review all the differences in features on the Feature comparison tab in every AdRotate product page.

If you need those features consider getting a Single or Duo license instead.
