Reviews

Work’s fine….

Shane Muirhead January 20, 2022

This plugin work’s fine, be sure to be submitting the form without /#wpcf7-f650-p652-o1 appended to the URL since this will not be classed as a new form submission and won’t increment the submission ID. i.e the same person is not going to fill out the form twice if they do the ID’s will be the same. I’ve installed and tested this and it works fine as long as you properly start a new form submission after the first submit…

Doesn’t work

Using the “starting number” feature, I submitted several forms and the number never incremented. As many others have said, it simply didn’t work. Don’t use.

Does not increment.

Unique ID doesn’t work/increment. Every time I submit a form, it keeps displaying the same submission ID Starting number.

Works Perfectly
