I started my website on the Beginner plan. $49 a month, just a couple weeks ago.
I built it on V4, then changed to V5.
I wasn't aware that I don't have Pages or Blogs or anything in the plan. I thought it was mostly a smaller plan for beginner-level traffic.
Most importantly, these things just worked until now. I wasn't trying to cheat anyone, I just wasn't aware that I'm not supposed to have them in my plan.
Then all of a sudden a few minutes ago my site becomes forums only. No warning, no nothing. I just go in and my site is suddenly just the forums page. Take into account that my website is supposed to be a combined blog and forums: the homepage is basically all blog.
I'm posting things on social networks right now, people are coming to the site - even if it's a small number. So I get stressed out, I dig a little to figure out what's the problem quickly, and realize I have no applications other than forums, that they've been taken down, and that I have to update my plan and pay more immediately to bring my site back online and not disappoint visitors.
I paid for the upgrade, but that experience sucked, to be honest. I think $49 a month is not nothing, but I guess you were upfront about your plans and pricing and it's fine, I just missed it. But just removing basically all site features out of the blue from my working site without telling me anything... That felt bad.
