3rd party – freemium service

What I say:
If you have been using Discus this could be a great replacement for you. You keep you data on your services so if you leave and revert back to WordPress native system you still have all you comments unlike Discus and some other 3rd party systems. This gives it a plus in my book.
What they say:
NiftyGridZPro is a WordPress plugin that easily produces grids of products from the Zazzle Print On Demand store.
Storekeepers (independent artists) and Zazzle affiliates can showcase products from stores, collections or the market place.
Uniquely, the plugin lets you use fallback grids that are automatically substituted when Zazzle’s rss feed is down. By default, search and grid paging is switched off but when switched on (with a shortcode option) they allow visitors to interact with the product grids, allowing them to explore and find designs they want.
All grids are responsive so they’re perfect for mobile visitors too.
With Zazzle’s 45 day cookie, their referral system lets blog owners earn 15% commission on any sales arising from visitors they send to Zazzle’s site.
The free version uses our referral id, licensed (i.e. premium) versions use yours.
What I think about it:
Well it is an interesting approach to a freemium plugin in that they stick their referral ID into the code until you go premium. I do like that they are upfront about it. If you need something to create Zazzle grids this may be a solution just know if you don’t go for the premium and it is pretty pricey I think at $99 a year. Could be a solution for you though.
Finding quality WordPress Hosting and support can be a challenge, well you can drop that stress by contacting JohnOverall.com web services. I can help you eliminate your WordPress stress. Solving your WordPress Emergency issues or doing the more day to day items such as finding that perfect plugin, helping you move to a new hosting provider or even providing Quality WordPress hosting.

Contests Powered by Simple Giveaways who kindly provided us with the premium version for our contests.
We are currently running a Give away for a 1 year pro license for WooCommerce Product Feed manager
Increase your WooCommerce store sales potential by easily generating product feeds and uploading your products in the major merchant shops such as Google Merchant Center, Facebook Dynamic Ads, Amazon, etc.
This plugin is specialized in generating a product feed that you can directly upload on other major merchant platforms with no extra hassle. With a few clicks you can get all your product details ready to be uploaded into another platform, without having to manually input data.
The Lowdown:
It will happen to you sooner or later using WordPress, you will perform plugin or theme updates and bam!!! You have a broken site! What do you do after the panic subsides? You can restore from the backup you just made right? probably the best method. Or you can use this plugin to roll back to a previous version of plugins or themes.
This will save you all that FTP time and make the process a whole lot less painful. Keep in mind that you can only use this with plugins and themes found in the WordPress repository.
All in all a pretty nice plugin,
