not working in free version

Good plugin!

By Web Developer (edgar1999) on February 19, 2021

It shows you your custom single product button. And you can add your desired class there! The only way to add class is with sprintf from loop and add to cart, but after woocommerce update its impossible either, so plugin can find that html and show you. P.s: Where does plugin get that single product button html?

Cumple lo que promete

Aunque al principio tuvo un error, el plugin es bastante útil. Cumple lo que promete y su soporte te atiende todas tus dudas y quejas. Muy recomendado.

Fantastic plugin, that brings my affiliate shop to the next level. Works brilliant with the saleszone premium theme. I looked for a solution for days and happy to finally found it. Thanks!

It does what it says

The plugin is doing what it is saying. Tried the free version and it is working, decided to upgrade to pro. At the beginning was thinking that the pro version is overpiced, but they provide really good support, so it is totally worthy.

not working

By Volvera (emresert86) on September 22, 2019

it doesn't work at all

Misleading

By jmsgohetia on July 25, 2019

It will only open the new tab on pro version.

Doesn't work

By ret00797 on March 31, 2019

Hi. No way to make it working. At least in free plugin. External products open in the same windows after saving changes. Useless.

Check Our Our Pro Version Text Question

By Byagi on November 30, 2016

I'm using the free version of your plugin on my site, and it works perfectly for my needs. Thanks for taking the time to create it. My question: At the top of every page in the admin section, I see this:
Thank you for using Improved External Products. Check out our pro version! Click to Go Pro!
There's no way to remove it. I don't need to update and go pro. Is there any way I can remove this message so that it isn't showing up on every page without an option to remove? **I'd be happy to donate to you as the developer for the free service, but making this sticky at the top of every page isn't great.

Not much Use

By sheepishsmile on September 3, 2016

"Open external links on new window" plugin does the same thing and on a global basis.. Plugin does not work on category pages or other visual composer elements of woocommerce..

Pro version looks promising and more feature rich. Very little feature on free version and since "Open External Links on New Window" plugin does the same thing, it might of little use if you're using this free version.
