Website Issues Update

Hey guys! Here's a long post that I just need to vent about, but short version:

TLDR: Putting comics up on my website for you guys is not feasible at the moment so we have to do it the old fashioned way, via DM's here on Patreon.
My soul is weary. DM's being sent out shortly with current Hellvira page.

Seriously, this is a lot of me just venting, but it's all of the problems I'm facing. Be warned, long post that you really do not need to read at all!

So, it turns out the simple little plugin that makes integrating your Patreon onto your Website is not so simple and is in fact such a massive pain in my ass and headache inducing shitstorm that I might not be able to move ahead with the website content for you guys. 

If you'll indulge my venting for a moment, here's a little taste of what I've been experiencing:

"You have no tiers in this campaign" (mind you my two pages ARE connected) It also says "Patreon Lite plan does not support tiers. If you want to gate your content for different tiers upgrade your Patreon plan to Pro and above here." 
I, however, do not have a Patreon Lite plan, I have a FOUNDERS plan, the best plan you can get because I was grandfathered in! It's great. So, nothing wrong on my end.
1 - If you are sure you are on founders’ plan, this should be a bug. You can confirm it by visiting Tiers tab in Edit Page for your campaign profile at Patreon.
2 - If tiers are missing, that may end up happening.
Can you try disconnecting your site from Patreon and reconnecting it again.
The $5-$10 access situation can happen if you set lifetime pledge value for a post.
Sorry, couldn't disconnect your site
Please wait a few minutes and try again. If this issue persists, you can visit your your app/clients page and delete the app/client for this site. Then you can save empty values for details in "Connection details" tab in "Patreon settings" menu at your site. This would manually disconnect your site from Patreon. Then, you can reconnect your site to another Patreon account or to the same account

I've honestly never had this much trouble on a website... Ever? Like of any sort of customizable website. This is absurd and it should all literally be fixable with a click or two. 

While this is massively frustrating, we can still do things the old fashioned way with DM's until a better solution comes along, or until this ridiculous plugin fixes itself because I'm fed up with it.

Anyway, you guys rock! Thank you for the support and your help testing the site out.

Hey! The pages should actually be working now. I’ll be sending out an update soon ^^

Hex, I never access your works from your website, but directly via Patreon and Pixiv Fanbox (which seem to be working fine). If you want my advice, I think it would be better to just remove that functionality altogether. As an alternative, you could set up a "Members Section" on your website, which is independent of Patreon, where users can log in to their respective tiers with a password that you provide them via DMs.

Thank you kindly 😭🀣

Hex I got a Snickers bar if you want it my good man.

Luckily a pal of mine is helping out on the internal stuff, hoping we can get all this sorted out soon. It's certainly not convenient lol!

Ugh. As a developer I know all too well the headaches this kind of shit can cause.
