Optin Monster will lock you out on next license renewal if it goes unpaid!
No warnings were sent at all!
Be very aware that this software plug in will lock you out of your WordPress blog admin sections. My renewal is today and this is what I got:

Fatal error: Class 'optin_monster_updater' not found in /home....wp-content/plugins/optin-monster-effects/optin-monster-effects.php on line 45

      Nice response I love it when product owners jump in and defend them, that is cool!

    OptinMonster is a pretty solid WordPress plug-in. It is important to note that the majority of the features and OptinMonster are you available in less expensive WordPress plug-ins. The main one being ninja pop-up which you can buy on Cody Canyon.

    The only real gripe I have ever had with OptinMonster is that it doesn't work well with self hosted auto responders, or any auto responder that it doesn't explicitly have integration with. Sure on the website they claim it works with any custom form however they don't make it clear that it doesn't pars out the fields in your custom form so that it will match the design. Instead when you try to use a custom form it looks horrible.

    You don't have this problem with other popup generators.

    Anyways those are my $.02.

    Jigsaw -

    Login to your cPanel. Go to file manager. Find /wp-content/plugins/optin-monster-slide/. Delete that and you'll have access to your site again. Then just re-download and install the plugin.This is not them locking you out and this happens more than you would think when there's an error like this.
