Thank you for reviewing WP Greet Box on this amazing blog! I really appreciate the honest opinions and will definitely improve it per your suggestions. My plans are definitely secret, but I assure you that they are awesome :)!
I am also quite interested in how much this has helped people with their reader conversion rate. This post is definitely going to help get that answer.
You’re welcome. Please check back on the post for users’ feedback.
Hi, [sorry for my english
]
I’m using this plugin on my personal blog, and I think it’s a great plugin!
For example, i’m using it for people that comes from a membership site that I leaved some month ago, so I can tell them to contact me with a webform!
Bye, Massimo
is this WP-Greet Box compatible with WP 2.7? The WP repository said “compatible up to 2.6.5″ so I was just wondering? Also, is the placement of the WP Greet Box code on your blog customizable? I’m just wondering because I have a customized theme that doesn’t follow general standards, only because I can’t find anyone to update it for me, and I’m just wondering if there is a bit of code that you can put in your sites theme as to where u want the greeting to be placed at?
I am running WP Greet Box on my blog running WordPress 2.7
You don’t need to modify your theme. You have the option to choose if you want the message to appear before or after the content.
arrgh! gravatar.com’s still aren’t working for me! arrgh! lol I uploaded an avatar back when gravatar 2.0 came out and its STILL not working! it doesn’t show up right on my blog, or other peoples blogs, yet when I go to gravatar.com, or on my own site using the test thingy, works fine from there *shrugs* whats the deal with gravatar.com anyway?? annoys me!!!
Great plugin! Saw and read your previous review on Referrer Detector and was about to install that but then I saw this and liked it better. Hats off to the Thaya for doing a great job with this plugin. Thanks for sharing!
It’s nice plugin. I think it could be very usefull.
Plugin is totally worth the try! Using it now for a months or so allready and also tried the Ref Detector before. WP GreetBox is much more mature and much mire relieable. Also the developer delivers awesome support if you have issues. Check it out!
Greet Box is miles ahead of Referrer Detector. I’ve been using it on my WP 2.7 blog with great success. The interface is insane well polished with jquery – in fact I think it’s one of the most polished plugins in existence.

Lookin good!!
I’m using this plugin. Before I was using a somehow similar plugin named “first timer”, but wp-greetbox is a lot better.
I would like to see some stats on ow many visitors subscribe through those greetboxes. It could be done with some javascript and google analytics but but something that just works in wp would be nicer.
That would be pretty brilliant. Indeed, I second this.
1) I love your blog
2) i love this plugin… I found it like 2-3 weeks ago, and it’s fantastic. I have a few blog posts I have planned for how people can implement it in fantastic ways.
I don’t know how much it’s “helped” but I LOVE it…
I installed this plugin earlier and actually love it. Not 100% sure that it is the cause of my traffic influx but all of a sudden I am getting a lot of traffic from facebook. Maybe people have shared my stuff because of this plugin? I usually get some … but this seems to be a bit more. Anyway, I really like the plugin. Good work and thank you to this blog for the heads up.
It’s a nice plugin but… seems to do nearly the same as http://richardkmiller.com/word.....h-godin-do
and is not so good as http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/landing-sites/
The plugin looks good but somehow I’m holding back. I’m holding back on many plugins as I feel I don’t want to swamp people when they arrive on my site.
Just my opinion.
I also have the Yet Another Related Posts Plugin activated, with excerpts. When I tried activating The Greet Box Plugin, all the excerpts were suddenly reading what the Greet Box plugin was supposed to say (“Hi there! .. ).
Might be something to look into..
I have used this plugin in the past and it is great. The fact that it works well with caching software puts it ahead of a lot of other plugins out there.
This plugin is awesome! I’m currently using it on some of my sites!
Impressive! I saw this exact functionality on a site this morning when I visited from Google and wondered how they did it – then I found this
Looking forward to giving it a go!
Hi,
I installed Greetbox and was delighted to see it work. But what happened in the next few days? It stopped showing up. What could be causing it? Is it because I also use Socibook and Subscribe Remind plug ins? I tried deactivating those two but still no success. Can you resolve it for me?
Hi, I’ve got a similar problem with a friend of mine.. He’s a theme that doesn’t permit to insert the right code in the footer.
So I’ve update it with th right call to the javascript files, and now it’s working!
Hi,
Massimo
Massimo,
Do you have any tips for fixing the javascript? My theme doesn’t seem to allow the code to work properly either. I would really like for this to work, but I just can’t figure it out.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

Nice review.
I am going to install this to see whether my search engine traffic visitors view more pages other than the search engine resultant page.
Nihar, your website is full of bad things. Trojan download forced on users, links to websites deemed dangerous.
Careful folks!
Currently, my WP greet box only appears for individual posts. I was wondering how do I make the greet box appear for my entire single category?
Thanks
Ilove your blog
I love this plugin… I found it like 3 weeks ago, and it’s fantastic. I have several blog posts. Plugin is totally worth the try! Using it now for a few weeks or. WP GreetBox is much more mature and much mire relieable. Also the developer delivers awesome support if you have issues. Check it out!

I am a new user of your wonderful plugin. More power to you!
+ I’d like to share some troubleshooting. At first it was working fine, then all of a sudden it stopped working. I tried the troubleshooting method here but none seemed to work. I was about to delete this plugin until I thought of resetting it. When I did, viola! It worked again! I guess I just accidentally did something wrong.
So remember, just reset the settings to default if the greet box doesn’t show up. I did that and it showed up again. Hope that helps someone in the future.
Cheers!
