I recently had the pleasure of working with one of the developers of this WordPress plugin, and I must say, the experience was outstanding! I needed to implement a pet food calculator that dynamically changes field labels based on user input without triggering an immediate calculation. Initially, I struggled with this functionality, but the support I received from the plugin contributor, DmtLo, was exceptional. The support was not only fast but also incredibly helpful, addressing my concerns and providing a solution that was easy to implement. As a result, I was able to further develop and customize the calculator to enhance its functionality. I highly recommend this plugin for anyone in need of a reliable and flexible solution, backed by a responsive and knowledgeable support team. Well Done!

Just starting to use this plugin and have been very encouraged by how responsive the developer has been to questions I’ve had. For something they are spending their time on for free it’s an example to the community. I hope this plugin continues to develop and is able to find a fair way to reward their effort.
