Hmm, perhaps it was a temporary issue? Could you try again? Make sure that if you are testing on a development environment you have access to the internet, because the calculator list is pulled live from our site.

Let me know your results after trying again.

Thanks,
John

Hello! We don’t use the POT file any more for translation.

Full translation of all text on our calculators (including the answer text) is available directly on https://www.calculatorpro.com

Click on the orange “Get Started” button on any of our calculator pages to pull up the customizer to translate. You can either use google to translate or you can also manually translate the text.

Thanks for the positive review!

1. Yes, the malware issue has been fixed. We migrated our server and updated server side code that had allowed a security hole. No code on your end needs to be updated.
2. The shortcode in wordpress copies in some HTML and a script tag that might look like the following (varies a bit depending on what calculator you loaded)

<div class="cp-calc-widget" data-calcid="1766" data-anchor="4"></div><a href="https://www.calculatorpro.com/calculator/loan-calculator/">Embed this Calculator</a><script src="https://www.calculatorpro.com/wp-content/plugins/calcs/js/widgetV6.min.js"></script>

The javascript file loaded by the script tag is a small file that injects the calculator HTML (along with some CSS) into your page. We have it set up this way so that if we need to push out an update for browser compatibility, we need only update our script file and then that script files starts getting used the next time a browser loads it.

When a user actually clicks “Calculate” an ajax request is sent off to our server where the answer is computed and sent back. Only the users’ inputs to the calculator (along with basic required elements like the calculator ID) is sent to our server for this calculation stage.

3. Yes, our plugin is compatible with WP 3.5.1.

Please also check out our site at https://www.calculatorpro.com to see some of the customization features we’ve added there (like translation, for instance)!

Our update went live and now the calculators on https://www.calculatorpro.com have a checkbox under the ‘advanced’ section to remove text shadows.

Let me know if you run into any problems using it!

We are also working on a feature to allow users to make their own css for our calculators and use that instead of ours. That won’t be ready by tomorrow I’m afraid.

Right now layout.css does not make any changes to the actual calculator css. Our css is loaded from the cloud at https://calculatorpro.s3.amazonaws.com/widgetV3.css by the same javascript that loads your calculator into the page.

If you go directly to a calculator on https://www.calculatorpro.com and click on the orange ‘Get Started’ button you will see more customization options than what are available through the wordpress plugin.

I’m working on an update to our site now that will also enable users to uncheck a box and remove the text shadows on all elements of the calculator. I hope to push that live tomorrow.

Thanks for your quick response!

What I mean is that all of the cloudfront urls are loading in HTTP in the HTTPS page. For instance https://cloudfront.cloudfront.net loads instead of https://cloudfront.cloudfront.net on an HTTPS page. That is why I tried the domain mapping. I tried mapping back into my own domain and also from cloudfront.cloudfront.net => cloudfront.cloudfront.net to hopefully switch out the https:// to https:// but that did not work for me.

I would also like to note that I’ve tried WordPress HTTPS domain mapping with mycloudfront.cloudfront.net => myoriginalsite.com to not use the CDN on SSL pages but this does not seem to work.

Thanks for noting this! We simply had a typo in our code that incorrectly led users to a site ending in .org. This will be fixed shortly with an update to our plugin.

Our site is indeed https://www.calculatorpro.com and doesn’t contain any malware.

Yes, thank you for noting this problem. We will be updating our plugin shortly, and the update will fix the the URL (it was most likely just an typo with the .org on our end).

Our website is indeed at https://www.calculatorpro.com, not .org.

To use HTTPS do the following:

1. Find your calculator on the actual https://www.calculatorpro.com site, and click on the ‘Get Started’ button.

2. Purchase the calculator’s customizations for $20 or become a premium member for $10/mo. There are buttons for both options in the customization modal you just opened. We try to keep our prices low, and even offer all of our calculators un-customized for free. For more advanced options like HTTPS, we do charge a small price (mentioned above).

3. After you checkout you will end up back at the calculator page. Click on the code tab to grab the calculator code.

4. Change the script src from http to https and you are good to go!

If you just want the css and js to be loaded via HTTPS, you can make this change to the script src without being a premium member (using the free, un-customized version of the calc code from our site). To ensure the calculator is entirely in HTTPS (e.g. also the ajax request for the answer), you will need to own the customization options for the calculator.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

To access the internationalization options, go to our site, https://www.calculatorpro.com, and click on the orange “Get Started” button present on any page with a calculator.

Options will appear allowing you to customize the calc. We recently added the option for automatic translation via Google Translate as well as manual translation/customization of each area that contains text on the calculator.

Good catch there, our site is https://www.calculatorpro.COM and does NOT contain malware.

I apologize for this–it will be fixed ASAP.

We recently deployed an update to our server that fixes some IE7 and IE8 CSS issues. This update is serverside so no one will have to update their plugin, and the results should take effect immediately.

If you could confirm that the calculators now display correctly–that would be great.

If you are still having issues, please post back and include a screenshot too if you can.

Thanks!
John

Hello, sorry for the slow response. As you noted in your other thread, this issue is resolved with the latest version of IE9.

We also recently deployed an update to our server that fixes some IE7 and IE8 CSS issues. This update is serverside so no one will have to update their plugin, and the results should take effect immediately. Let me know if you have any more questions.
