Frustration and Obfuscation

  • Trying to set up a simple contact form. Nothing else, no notifiers or processors. Just send me the comment and let me reply. It cannot do this.

    It keeps putting my own email address as the reply address, making me edit it every time I answer. I’ve tried all kinds of settings, it only sent correctly once, then started doing it wrong again, I have no idea why.

    Having a hard time believing that the nebulous value definitions aren’t part of a scheme to get me to buy support.

    If you need a nice looking form to do something clever, this will probably work. As a simple Contact Form it fails terribly. I have clients who will not know to edit the From address on the notifications this sends.

    Also, commenter notification is turned on by default, so it reveals your admin email to every submitter if you don’t turn that off. That is not obvious either, it’s in a separate tab under Processor. It undermines the very reason for a comment form. Idiocy.

    In all, not impressed with the lack of clarity of the field designations. Not buying support for a comment form, just finding a better plugin.

  • I don’t see your support ticket on Support page
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/caldera-forms

    You should submit there unless you are premium addon user.

    That’s not good behavior that you just post one star review while you haven’t submitted any ticket.
    Do you know the rule of WordPress directly?

    That’s not a rule and people can and do leave reviews without even attempting to get support.
