Reviews

Forms keep breaking

I’d give a zero star rating if I could. We’ve been running this plugin for years, and now since several updates, our forms no longer work – the validation fails and submits empty forms, or states required field not filled in when it is … I have to rebuild the forms and then they work for a short period of time and break again.

I have tried to get a response to no avail. At this point, I would not recommend this plugin to anyone.

I’ll need to find one such as gravity or caldera that work well and best of all the developer(s) respond to any and all questions/issues.
