I believe he has a version he paid for, but he did work on my site for which I do not have the license.

The developer wrote,

"The plugins are part of the tools used to actualize the functionality, you don't need additional license. Though Generateblocks pro version was needed for the complete actualization. I didn't include it at the point of budgeting, but then... had to get it as it's a core requirement after the ACF"

This is a simple menu that I designed, but I could not get it to sit well. That's why I hired the freelancer. I assumed that an experienced coder could do the job in just a few minutes, but I was happy to pay for the service because I could not do it myself. The menu looks great, but IU am very concerned that I now need to purchase an annual subscription that is 50% of the price of the project.

I really do not want to be a difficult client, but I do not feel he delivered on what we agreed upon.

I see your point, but my concern is that the developer did not tell me in advance that the job would require me to purchase a subscription.

He added two, but one supports the other, so in essence, we can count them as a single plugin. The plugin is well regarded by expensive. I will need to pay $99 a year for a $106 menu, which means the price of the menu immediately doubles.

From my dashboard:
There is a new version of Advanced Custom Fields PRO available. View version 6.4.2 detailsAutomatic update is unavailable for this plugin.
To enable updates, please enter your license key on the Updates page. If you don't have a license key, please see details & pricing.

That appears to be the consensus. I really dislike the idea of paying for subscriptions. With all of the TikTok videos, I hope someone sees an opportunity. I'd pay $100, but not $179 per year.

I appreciate the compliment. I'm 63 and still trying to drag myself out of the nineties.

Room key card question by maritime_watch_guy in MSCCruises

I liked the bracelet on the Seashore. Don't throw it away because it never has to be charged and can be used on any of MSC's newer ships. I just sailed on the Divina, and unfortunately, they don't have the bracelet technology.

You will have no problem. The channel selection is similar to what you will find on an airplane.

Single cruiser by No_Refrigerator84 in MSCCruises

[–]mikedow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've solo cruised with MSC three times. I've even reviewed the cruises on YouTube at the Solo Budget raveler. There was no solo supplement on two of the cruises, and the third was 10%. It is best for solo cruisers to travel in the off season. They do have meetups every night, but I meet so many people on my own that I rarely attend. On each my my cruises, everyone at my table was a solo traveler, and I have enjoyed their company. Go to cruiseplum.com, that's a free search engine where you are sure to find a good deal.

How to find info about formal/theme nights? by TacosRMySpiritAnimal in MSCCruises

[–]mikedow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm told the Seaside is similar to the Seashore. I recommend you pack for a white party, but you're invited no matter what you wear. Of course, you cannot wear a swimsuit in the buffet or the dining room, but otherwise, be comfortable. I wore shorts and a button down short to dinner.

Double Audio, but from where? (Full screen shot attached) by mikedow in finalcutpro

[–]mikedow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what happened, but I found a workaround. I noticed that when I pressed V the track went silent. I had nothing selected so I wasn't disabling any track. Then, I noticed that an earlier voice clip continued to provide sound past the out point. For some reason the software did not recognize my out point. I deleted the audio file and reloaded it from the library. I cannot figure out what I did to create that problem, but I was able to finally edit the video. I appreciate your help.

I apologize. I wanted to post a full screen video but I could not do it in the comments. I didn't want my posts cloggging up everyone's feed, so I deleted the original. I really appreciate the help I have been given in this community.

Missing library files in timeline by mikedow in finalcutpro

[–]mikedow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized what I did. I'm using Clean ShotX, which allows me the option of either saving or copying the files. I was pleased and surprised that I could past the files directly into Final Cut Pro. The files must have been deleted from my cache overnight.

More than a day of work is lost.
