Provide the same features and updates in the WP Plugin as you do for the Hosted Website

OR is charging the same for the WP Plugin that it is charging for the Hosted Website. Therefore, it is only reasonable that the plugin provides the same features and updates as the Hosted Website.

Chris just informed me that OR is upgrading the Hosted Website photo layout yet only looking at potentially upgrading the plugin for this. Please simultaneously upgrade the plugin for this too, and upgrade it to match any other upgrades that have been made for the Hosted Website. If OR isn't going to do this, then the plugin price needs to be reduced, as that makes it an inferior product.

Just a quick point of clarification: OwnerRez does charge less for the WordPress Plugin, on the first property anyway. You can use the pricing page to see that. Or you can view the breakdown here - Hosted Sites and then WordPress below that.

We don't usually release big bangs for all areas at once. Our WordPress Plugin is actually housed in a different code repository from the main app.

But you bring up a good point, and that is, we need to spend more time on the WordPress Plugin and make it more powerful than it is today. We will be looking at bringing an updated photo layout for WordPress too, but it won't be released at the same time.

I appreciate that you will be looking at updating the photo layout like you are doing for the hosted sites. Please do more than looking at doing that.

- And I very much appreciate this acknowledgement too!
