What's going wrong

Site owners who installed this Messenger live chat plugin from the WordPress directory found the chat only works on a paid subscription, and they learned this only after setup. Many felt the listing hid that requirement, so they wasted time on configuration and tutorials before the paywall appeared. Some asked what the free version includes, and others called the free offer too weak for basic Facebook Messenger chat. Clearer listing copy, a free-plan comparison, and a notice before install would close this trust gap for owners choosing a chat plugin.
