    The plugin seems legit but having trouble getting the form to submit on mobile reliably. Paid the $50 just to get customer service which has not replied to my last 3 emails. Unfortunately will have to take this charge up with my bank and claim fraud. Very frustrating.

    I am not satisfied or happy with this plug-in. On Friday July 26 I purchased the premium plug-in to get the additional features. The plug-in is not what I thought it was going to be and it does not meet my needs. On the website the company states that they will refund your money within 14 days if you are not happy with the plug-in. On Saturday July 27, I contacted the company requesting a refund. I deactivated the plug-in license and deleted it from my site. I have reached out to the company FIVE times to get this resolved to no avail – I keep getting auto responses that they are busy and will get back to me soon. Don’t purchase the premium plug-in!

    This form plugin came with my BoldGrid template. It worked fine under development, but stopped working once the site went public. It failed to submit due to a 403 error from https://softweave.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. My hosting service tech support told me I needed to upgrade to the paid version to fix the problem. Once I installed the paid version, my form started working again. UPDATE:Based on a response to this review, I configured WordPress to send mail via SMTP. This eliminated the need to have weForms PRO activated for form submissions to succeed. I deleted the weForms PRO plugin and the contact form worked fine the rest of the day. The next day however, my contact form was again failing to submit due to a 403 error. A wsform troubleshooting article on error 403 suggested this could be caused by page caching. After deleting the cache for my contact form page, the form works again. I’ve excluded the form page from caching, which will hopefully solve this problem permanently.

    Sadly I have tried multiple times over the past 2 weeks to get support. I have ticket numbers from their automated system, but there has been no response from support at all.

    It works for me. I was able to get the results I wanted and tested the plugin. I love the entries category where I don’t have to go to my email to see the responses.
