Constant JS errors, doesn’t work reliably with Elementor

bryanesler September 26, 2022

If you use the Elementor page builder, be prepared for things like accordions and slideshows not to work properly. The FastSpring plugin throws JS errors non-stop. Disabling the FastSpring plugin makes these widgets work correctly again. It seems like FastSpring did the bare minimum here and did not look into effective implementation with modern page builders and WordPress.

Doesn’t work with WP 5.6.1 and StoreCommercePro theme

robainscough February 15, 2021

I’ve followed the documentation to the letter. Everything setup correctly in the Plug-In parameters. The FastSpring popup-store front tested good on FastSpring’s website but when I tried to “add FastSpring blocks” (via WordPress) to my page, I would just get an error with unable to preview. I would not see ANY of the parameters displayed in their documentation (like product) so it seems to me the plugin/block process is not working or something else is stopping it from working? It seems to be a problem with the FastSpring Plug-In and I was able to confirm that by disabling the FS PlugIn. Once disabled, I used the method of adding FastSpring Script snippets to my page head and then using data-fsc-action and data-fsc-item-path-value in HTML code and that worked! So it’s clearly a problem with this FastSpring Plug-In. I tried contacting FastSpring support and it’s now 7 days later with ZERO response. Very disappointed with FastSpring support. Rob A.

Really helpful, very well documented and simply ingenious!

This plugin saves you a lot of work! Here you can see that someone has really thought about it. The plugin is really very well done and the documentation answers all open questions. The FastSpring support also answers very quickly and politely. I love this plugin, It’s fucking awesome!
