Their customer service sucks, no doubt it about it. I would not even waste your time contacting them or using their lame forum.

There are other forums out there much better, like motionmods.com who are prompt, kind, and details.

However, their script is good. Takes a lot of customization, but it works.

That’s a pain, have you tried getting a refund through the payment system you used for the order? Try posting on the forum, you will probably get their attention there. Good luck with sorting things out.

I am not very impressed with the guys at Phpmotion, I have PAID for an uprgrade from version 2 to 3.5 and they dont even bother answering my tickets or mail. I am now trying to get my money back.

Sorry, I don’t really have any hosts to recommend. I know one that shows up a lot on the forums is Cirtex hosting (not all comments about them are good though). Who is you’re current host?

I have to agree with Ben- I never paid PHPmotion to install anything for me, and the script works beautifully. The only thing I ever bought from them was a license, which wasn’t essential, it was totally my choice.

I did find that your host makes all the difference in the world. Had a rough first month before I moved to a quality host. Things were great after that.

Back on topic- #1 just made me laugh! I find it almost hilarious that people seem to subconsciously think that if the links (terms, privacy, etc.) are in the footer, they’re covered… so often forgetting that the links are supposed to go to legitimate pages.

Great post here!

It is free to use, there are extras that you can purchase but the main script is free to download & use. Many commercial scripts work like this, it’s not just PHPmotion.
1000′s of people would disagree about it not working, sure there are bugs but it works. And the forum is pretty helpful for most people

I definitely would not consider it highway robbery, I think you just seem to have had bad luck setting it up. Were you on a host that supports PHPmotion?

PHP Motion, biggest rip off on web… They say it is FREE, not so.. SCript wont work, you can not find answers on their forum. Solution pay them to install for you..

I blogged about this very problem http://funkycode.net/2009/09/28/dont-upgrade-to-phpmotion-v3-just-yet/ a while back & contacted the PHPmotion devs about the SE loss when upgrading. Obviously wasn’t considered important to them though as nothing was done about it…

Unfortunately I’m not sure how long it will take you to regain your previous ranking/traffic. Basically upgrading kills most old links so all your existing content will be reconsidered as new links when SE’s index your site

Webmasters with successful websites should also take into account the massive change in the sites seo when upgrading versions of phpmotion.

After an upgrade from v2 to v3 about six days ago, my traffic has dropped from hundreds of unique visitors to tens per day. I am hoping that this will balance out with re-indexing over time, fingers crossed eh!
