Plugin hasn't been updated in a year, as a paying customer I expected to get good support. They don't even respond any more, it's ridiculous. Check out the issue que, there are too many people who this isn't working for. I don't think it is compatible with PHP 7.2, but I can't find any documentation. Wish there was an alternative.

Wordpress 5.x has been out a while now and the gutenberg editor has been known about for even longer. Time to upgrade the plugin. I would post in the support forum but as of right now, there's 9 unanswered posts spanning the past 9 months. She's dead Jim Things just don't work, 404 pages etc. On the shift post edit screen, the Screen Options won't even open for me. There's no hours to choose from. The meta box for it just has a name and that's it. Choosing employee does nothing but jump up the page a bit. I followed the well written instructions but nice graphics and copy writing means nothing if the product doesn't work. All around broken and they don't seem to have the desire to do anything with it

I want to love this plugin, I do. However, after using both the free and the paid for version, and writing for help (to the same email address often shown in this plugins support forum and on their site). I've gone absolutely no where but slower and slower, to the point where my boss has ordered me to solve or remove. In analysis, if all plugins are disabled, and a bone stock WP template used. Turning Shiftee on creates a 27 second page load. WOW! That's horrible. 27 seconds just to see the home page!? Same test: All plugins on, modified custom theme, Shiftee OFF - 2 second page load. I wonder which plugin is the culprit here...? SHIFTEE! We've run Shiftee for only a few months, but in that few months, we've witnessed Shiftee slow our site more and more. To a level that is incomprehensible. At this point, it is an unusable product. Paying for the pro version did nothing for us, other than NOT receive ANY support responses. Looking into how this plugin is made - it's just all wrong and amazing that WordPress would allow this in their systems. It attempts to load itself on every single page. It creates extraneous entries in our database and plugins like Sweep show 26,467 unused Terms which can not be swept. Fields like "Extra, Paid Time Off, Worked, Mileage, Receipt, Reimbursed" are repeated over and over thousands of times, despite being of no use to us. And to think, all we wanted to use was just the ability to show a simple schedule to our employees. Nothing else! 1 Location. Only a handful of positions in a very small Mom & Pop business. In short, do not waste your time on this plugin. It is not yet ready for use. It's a ticking time bomb, which will end with your site loading so slow that your employee's will hate you. More employees, more shifts, it will happen sooner. We got about 3 months, your mileage may vary. To the plugin maker: We give you money, and you give us this!??? Please, re-evaluate and take pride in responding to your licensed support requests. We would have paid for a fix, but I guess your too busy scamming us all with this dreadful bit of code you have here. It needs serious work.

Slowed my website down a lot. Website would literally take 3 or 4 mins to load.

I spent a whole frustrating afternoon trying to configure the basic free version, with a view to upgrading to paid if it worked well. Unfortunately I was unable to make this plugin work as various functions did not execute properly. Large numbers of "not found" links for both administrators and users. I have now deleted the plugin, and moved to to seek another solution. There is definitely a market for a well-written, intuitive "clock in/out" scheduler. Regrettably this product comes up short.
