We have no plugins installed by this developer yet a giant message is showing up on our clients website that will not go away, no matter how many time we press on the close button. Some plugin developer is sneaking this message into another plugin’s recent update to cross market this new plugin, and it’s atrocious. Once we find the plugins responsible for this message it will be removed from all of our client websites and never used again. This is the message our clients receive: “Boost Your Website with Google Reviews! Quickly and easily embed Google reviews into your WordPress siteΒ FreeΒ andΒ without API key.
