Here on Meta, some plugins include this callout saying they’re “available on all of our hosting tiers” when that’s not correct:
In some cases, that’s become inaccurate because the new free tier excludes the plugin. In others, an even higher tier than Starter is required. Per Discourse pricing, some examples are:
Some also still mention “Standard” instead of “Pro”
Just a quick note in case anyone wants to update these: The category structure on Meta has changed so #bug no longer results in a category mention, so whenever you edit a topic of an official customization the category mentions in this block at the top need to be updated to continue to work as expected. Otherwise the result is:
I’ll give this a bit of thought in the next day or two. I’m wondering if there’s a small change we can make here to reduce the need to keep two things in sync.
Could even link right to https://discourse.org/pricing#compare-plugins, though you might want some scroll-margin-top to keep the headers from hiding a few lines:
I guess only the plugins with a link to Discourse.org in the callout could be revised like my example. (Unless they wanted to update that plugin list to be comprehensive.)
On the same subject: the “included in core” concept has been causing quite some confusion. In Communiteq we seem to keep having to explain that “included in core” does not imply “included in all hosting plans” and I’m pretty sure that is not only happening to us.
It would be good if this was explained better / more clearly somewhere.
