Important announcement: Evolving our extensions for better service and performance
As JoomUnited continues to grow and enhance our WordPress offerings, we're making some strategic changes to provide you with better products, faster development cycles, and more personalized support. These changes are designed with our web developer and agency clients in mind, focusing on delivering premium tools that help you create reliable websites for your customers.
Consolidating Our Free Extensions into Enhanced Premium Versions
After careful consideration, we've decided to merge the free versions of WP Meta SEO, WP Speed of Light, and WP Latest Posts into their respective premium versions. This consolidation will allow us to focus our resources on developing more robust, feature-rich extensions.
Why are we making this change?
- Faster Development Cycles: Maintaining separate free and premium versions significantly slows down our development process. By consolidating our efforts, we can accelerate feature development and release updates more frequently.
- Design and UX Improvements: Each of these extensions will receive a comprehensive design and UX refresh, making them more intuitive and easier to use. This refresh will include cleaner interfaces, improved workflows, and better responsiveness.
- Enhanced Support Experience: The WordPress plugin directory limits our ability to provide the level of support we want to offer. Without direct access to your websites, troubleshooting becomes challenging and time-consuming. Our premium support system allows us to deliver personalized assistance, with real developers (not AI) addressing your specific needs.
By focusing on our premium offerings, we can ensure that these extensions remain at the cutting edge of WordPress development, providing you with tools that truly enhance your web development workflow.
Migrating from Free to "Pro" versions
You'll be notified on the free extension WordPress admin about the migration.
Also, we'll provide a 30% OFF coupon if you buy the pro version of the plugin. You can get the coupon in the admin of your WordPress website where the free plugin versions are installed.

Expanding our WordPress bundle with powerful new extensions
We're excited to announce that we've added three new powerful extensions to our WordPress bundle, significantly increasing its value. Ou goal is to provide a set of tools to build all kind of websites.
WP Location Finder: A comprehensive store locator solution that allows your clients to showcase their physical locations with interactive maps, custom markers, and advanced search functionality. Perfect for businesses with multiple locations or franchises.
WP AI Assistant: Leverage the power of artificial intelligence on your WordPress sites with this innovative extension. Create AI-powered chatbots, trained with your data to enhance user experience.
WP Ultra Filter: Give your clients' websites advanced filtering capabilities for products, content, or any custom post type. This extension makes it easy to create sophisticated filtering systems with AJAX-powered results that update instantly without page reloads.
Discontinued extensions to streamline our product lineup
In addition to consolidating our free versions into premium offerings, we're also making the decision to discontinue several extensions that have seen declining usage over time. This strategic decision allows us to focus our development resources on our most popular products and new innovations.
The following extensions will be discontinued:
- WP Team Display: Our organization chart WordPress plugin
- Item Rating: Rating system extension
- My Testimonial: Customer testimonial management tool
- Layer Slideshow: Advanced slideshow creation plugin
- Tag Transform: Tag cloud and management extension
- Team Chart: Organization chart extension for Joomla
Why we're discontinuing these extensions:
- Usage Trends: These extensions have become increasingly outdated in terms of how modern websites are built and what features users require
- Limited User Base: Each of these extensions has a relatively small user community, making it challenging to justify continued development resources
- Strategic Focus: By streamlining our product lineup, we can dedicate more resources to our flagship products like WP Media Folder and WP File Download, as well as exciting new innovations
Transition Support for Affected Users
We understand that some of you may be using these discontinued extensions. While we won't be developing new features or updates for them, existing customers will receive a support until their membership expiration date. After that, it may continue to work for a while with future versions of WordPress/PHP, but we won't be able to provide updates.
This restructuring of our product lineup, along with the consolidation of our free extensions and the addition of new products, represents our commitment to delivering the highest quality WordPress and Joomla extensions that truly meet the evolving needs of web developers and agencies.
Our commitment to you
These changes reflect our ongoing commitment to providing web developers and agencies with the best possible tools for creating exceptional websites. While we understand that the removal of free versions may disappoint some users, we believe that the enhanced features, improved support, and accelerated development cycles will deliver significantly more value in the long run.
For existing users of our free extensions, we're offering special transition pricing to make the move to our premium versions as smooth as possible. Current premium users will automatically receive these improvements as part of their subscription.
Our WordPress bundle continues to offer exceptional value, with all our premium extensions available at a fraction of their individual prices. With the addition of these three new powerful tools, there's never been a better time to upgrade.
We appreciate your continued support and welcome your feedback as we evolve our products to better serve your needs.
When you subscribe to the blog, we will send you an e-mail when there are new updates on the site so you wouldn't miss them.
