Real CodeCanyon questions and author answers

I've been having two issues that I cannot figure out.. First off the progress bar is not keeping progress and is at $0 even after clicking something of greater value than $0. Second, after clicking through all of the steps and options the final email shows only "Last Step from values" and "ref", for some unknown reason it is not displaying "project content", even after clicking through multiple steps. Any help would be wonderful, Thanks!

I just privately emailed you.

Hi I'm thinking of buying this plugin. Is it possible to add a Step where the user selects an option and get's 10% off from the total price? If not, when do you think you will add this? Thanks!

Do you have a manual on how to do this? I need to be sure before I purchase... Thanks :-)

Do you offer custom work for this plugin? I would like to use this for a donation form and need: 1. Recurring payment option to accept Monthly and Yearly recurring donations. Step 1 would be the $ amount and step 2 will be options for "one time", "monthly" or "yearly". 2. I need the following Gateways: Paypal, Wepay and Authorize.net (authorize is not too important right now if you're not interested in working with that). This is a for an ambitious Land Conservation Project. They are non-profit but have a decent budget. Please write me if you're interested and I can send you a mockup of what I need using your plugin. Thank you for your time.

Any plans to add ability for users to save unfinished forms and to continue with them later?

HI... at the end of the form, me and the client receive an email with the list of items. The problem it include the price... i just want the list and the final price. Can i take out the option of adding the price to each line in the email i receive?

This is a very nice plugin! How can I solve issues with my theme css? https://naranjatec.com/?lfb_action=preview&form=1 Hope to hear from you soon!

To solve it I needed to add this: div#lfb_bootstraped.lfb_bootstraped, div#lfb_bootstraped.lfb_bootstraped div,div#lfb_bootstraped.lfb_bootstraped h1 { text-align: center!important; } Thanks for putting me on the right track!

How can I make the columns wider? It doesn't look nice like this.

What's the best place to put this?

Thanks! Where can I get the icon set you use in your example?

In the confirmation email the items that use an image don't show the price. And items with an image and the quantity option, don't show the selected quantity either.... This is a mayor flaw!

Good morning, I would like to purchase the plugin, however I have one question. Is it possible to to insert a custom java script between steps or within the steps. Because I am giving a service for my customer for free I would like them to download an app from my affiliate network before ordering the service. Would that be possible with the purchased plugin or could that be made possible ?

Thank you very much. I am going to purchase the plugin right away

Can't edit steps. After clicking edit there's just this dot and it freezes like this forever. Any idea?

What a Fantastic Plugin! I've been looking for this for ages! I would like to share with you my thoughts on how you could make it even better! 1. Be able to duplicate steps (a little icon same as delete, etc) 2. Be able to create and save products into some kind of library, including price, image etc etc. So when you building new step you can simply select product from the list instead of creating the same product all over again. 3. All images should be greyed out unless selected. Currently is the other way round. Select icon is greyed out but unselected is coloured. 4. Disable multiple choices on some steps. 5. Stripe payment support 6. Allowing people to reserve the price by paying instead of forcing them to pay if payment is enable. So it would be something like 'Pay now to reserve your price' etc. In general, great job! Keep me posted about further updates and features.

Perfect. Grouping items works! Thanks again! P.s Any CSS trick to make X and TICK bigger?

Hmm, I'm trying to paste that into my child-theme css. Is that the right place?

Yep, that works :). Thank you again for your prompt reply!

Ohh, I forgot about really important questions. When you link conditions, is there any way to create OR rule for the element? SO when you selecting 2-3 elements the condition is OR rather than if? Hope this make sense.

Thanks, but you can't create and link the same conditions twice together? You would have to create new step instead and create new link with a different condition. I just thought it might be possible for my project because some of the questions I have is 'either' A or B and they could go to the same Step. Hope this make sense.

No worries, I will create a workaround for this. :) Thank you.

Is it possible to just create a form with multiple fields, without the "estimation" part? I basically sell designs at a flat rate and just need the information from the client, there is no estimating. Is this possible? Do you have a showcase/demo for such an order form?

Presales question does it allow you to setup only one or can you setup multiple quoting programs using the plugin within the same site for quoting different projects you do.

I love this plugin, I'll buy it for my next project but here is one question I'd like to solve and see if this plugin can suite my idea. The point is that I want to create a recomendation website for selling insurances. And I want my visitors to answer few steps with this plugin and at the end give them the product that fits better with their answers. Can I do this and configure it with this plugin at the final step?

Perfect! Could be simply amazing if in the future, this plugin can implement this function.

Request for the future: collect information instead of using it as cost estimator :)

Hello, your plugin is perfect. Hands down the best pricing calculator on the market. Only one request, monthly pricing. Many of us freelancers need to charge first time fees and later monthly amounts. It would be amazing to be able to separate both amounts. For example, website setup costs = 100€ and monthly community managment = 50€. It makes clients angry if later you have to tell them they have to pay every month, if they calculated and they had a lower amount. Thank you guys.

Hello, I would like to ask you, if I will buy this plugin, will be possible to change PayPal payment method to GoPay

question pre purchase! you can multiply the result? I have to do something like: (element) x (quantity elements) x (element type) + (additional features)

I found more issues, I will contact you personally tru support pages.

Thx for quick fix

Bravo. J'aime beaucoup. Ce plugin est maintenant dans ma liste d'achat ! ;-)

Hi! Can the design of the estimator be modified? I mean the background color, the fade-in titles and so on? Thanks!

How about the fade-in effect?

Hi, good work! Very nice plugin. One friendly advice, in updates section you have very futuristic date: 2515-04-23 :)

I have a serious question, is in your plugin possiblity to use amount slider? Like for loans? (first slider for amount of money, second for a time period) Thx!

And please I have another question, Can I use different order forms with different emails? I mean order from form1 goes to email1 and from form2 goes to email2. I have purchased, but still not verified plugin, this answer will help me, which domain I will choose.

Hi there, Is it possible to have a calendar date picker (preferably between two dates) as an option? Cheers!

Hi Loopus, After install last version, an old Bug come back. If I choose one way, then go back, the options selected in that old way still selected. It's supposed to reset, as it done on last version before this one. Thank you.

Great plugin! Just downloaded, and playing around with it I've found a couple things that don't seem to work: 1) When I put a price that an option costs, it doesn't actually show up when viewing the form. 2) There's a couple toggle things on all the screens that don't have labels by them. One is always "on" and one is "off" I have no idea what they do 3) If I add an item from the products that has more than 1 variation, it doesn't let me see which one I'm choosing. This isn't a big deal to have, but when I can't use the pricing when people choose an option, the only way to total an estimate is by adding products. My sample form is at: http://www.typofire.com/services/outreach/evangelism-estimator thanks for your help!

Hi, 1. I have the setting to not show initial price - but it is still showing the initial price on the slider. 2. When I have check box selected, the option for quantity disappears. 3. Is it possible to set 2 columns only?

Version 8.7

Version 8.7

Thanks for fixing the bug! Cheers mate, keep it going!

Hello, First, i love the plugin! You did a really good job on it's design and functions. I do have a question though... It seems that i cannot change the e-mail template. When i change the "information" title or "project" title and save it... it appears to be saved. But when i refresh the wp-admin page, it resets automaticly. How can i fix this? Thanks!

Send you an e-mail!

Thanks for fixing the bug! Cheers mate, keep it going!

Awesome, thank you so much!

Good day, hope you are well. I can not seem to add anything in the email content blocks in the email settings. Please assist, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Awesome, thank you so much!

Send you an e-mail!

Getting the following error. Thoughts? PM'd you the un-edited version of this code separate through your profile on CC. Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$height in /apps/wordpress/public/wp-content/plugins/WP_Estimation_Form/includes/lfb-core.php on line 662

I just moved my site to another server, ensured DNS fully propagated (it did), and I'm seeing the same thing. The server it's now on is a pretty vanilla cPanel server with Apache/PHP ...nothing fancy. Same PHP error.

Hello loopus, I purchased this plugin earlier today, I am really struggling with .css. I notice that you have directed several buyers to ./assets/css/estimation_popup.css, however, I can't seem to locate this file. I am trying to change the background color of the "intro" area, as well as the background color of the "main area." Is this possible? Also, I am trying to change the font so that it matches my font I am using within my website. Please help me with this. Thanks, GCPhoenix

Thank you for the response, but I'm still not seeing the results I am hoping for. I was able to change the font-family just fine. However, I am trying to change these 3 things, and I just don't know how: 1. I have placed the shortcode into my Wordpress page, and I am trying to change the background color of the "intro" section. It seems to be transparent, but I do not want it to be. 2. I am also trying to change the default grey color of the background behind the steps. Is this possible? 3. I am trying to change the font-size of the step titles. I cannot seem to figure out the proper adjustments to make in the .css files to make this happen. Please help! Thanks, GCPhoenix

Thank you so much! Problems 1 & 2 are fixed! However, #3 still didn't work. Any other way to change the step title? Because it is remaining the same size. Also, this is my last question, i promise! How can I change the background color behind the price bar? Possible? Thanks again for the quick responses!

Thank you so much! It worked. I am SO CLOSE to getting this amazing plugin formatted on my site the way I want it to be! Only 2 things are holding me back now and if you can answer them you will be a life saver! 1. How can I disable when clicking the "next" button, it anchors me down the page to the point where the progress bar is at the top of the page. I would like to change that feature if possible? 2. Also, the spacing of the content is not coherent to the spacing on the rest of my site. I would like to change this if possible! Here is a screenshot (http://www.gcphoenix.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Spacing-screenshot.jpg) of the areas of spacing I would like to adjust! Thank you so much! You have been an amazing help!

The link above will not work, however, this one should: http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/GCPhoenix/Spacing-screenshot_zpspce39yu8.jpg

That link will not work, however, this one will: http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/GCPhoenix/Spacing-screenshot_zpspce39yu8.jpg Thanks!

I just moved my site to another server, ensured DNS fully propagated (it did), and I'm seeing the same thing. The server it's now on is a pretty vanilla cPanel server with Apache/PHP ...nothing fancy. Same PHP error.

Hello Is it supports RTL? Thank you

Hi, the plugin conflicts with the WP-Engine Modal CSS when installed on wordpress hosted on WP-Engine. Any ideas for a fix for these ? Thanks Ben

Hi, i sent a private support message yesterday, but its conflicting with the admin interface and also the front end doesn't seem to work as it should - https://www.weareinnovative.co.uk/icuk-estimate-builder and this is the css that is conflicting with the admin - https://www.weareinnovative.co.uk/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpengine-common/css/wpe-common.css Thanks

When adding fields to the last step section the "loading" animation (green screen with white pulsating blob) does not goes away. After refreshing the page, the field is shown. Is this a known issue? Also, just FYI, I had to fix my form after updating through sftp... some items appeared in the wrong steps...

Also, newline characters are being stripped from text area fields and from the email templates.

I don't know what's the previous version. I can check it tonight when I get home and verify my backup server. I used the visual editor and still got the line breaks removed. I ended up using , but if you change back to the visual editor they are removed. What about the line breaks in the text area fields of the last steps section? They are not passed to the email. Something that came to my mind just now. It would be nice to be able to set the "reply-to" email to the one in an email field in the last steps section.

nevermind, i found it

Is it possible to insert input fields for item quantity, rather than having to click the +1 icon? We have some items that may potential have 100+ quantity. It's not practical to make a visitor have to manually click each increment.

But quantity text field doesn't calculate x price. is that correct?

sorry, but i don't see that anywhere. can you send me a screenshot please?

This is beautiful. I'm looking for a plugin with conditional logic, and without a set number of steps. So for example, a person could answer two questions and end up with a result of "You should try to get more sunlight", or they could answer five questions and get "Nice job! You're doing everything right." Would that kind of conditional logic (like a decision tree, without a set number of steps for all users since it depends on their answers) be possible with this plugin? So that the quiz stops if the person gives a certain answer on any of the questions, and results in a given answer at that point?

Purchased the plugin today, is there a demonstration I can import and play around with?

Sorry, realised it is within the plugin folder.

Is there a way to manage calculations between two separate items. For example I want to multiply Item 3 by Item 2 and then item 1. Thanks for your support, didn't expect a response so quickly!

Bugger, I was hoping this was possible as it is the main reason for purchasing. Thanks anyway.

Hey there! Here's some ideas. I've been doing some research and have bought the Types Toolkit, which includes Types and Views (http://wp-types.com) I found that at times, the reader would like an interactive search, which is done with custom post types. Here's some examples. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/cheap-iphone http://wp-types.com/site/david-das/ Would you want to increase the sales of this plugin and make it a mainstream tool? Perhaps you could consider the following ideas 1) Let it be able to take in CPT as a data source 2) Be able to filter and display results in different formats, as different users will use it differently 3) Add in Faceted search, like FacetWP 4) Let us be able to integrate in posts/pages by widgets and shortcodes :) Cheers!

Hello, I really love the new UX, one the of best I've seen yet! Still having some odd behavior with the latest update today though. I have my form set to not show preice, but Steps rather. Proceeding to step 2, the slider goes all the way to the right, and when selecting things the slider just moves around in different positions and makes no sense. I have only 4 steps. Example: http://i.imgur.com/nxvTNQx.jpg

https://www.virdigi.com - I believe we have an account there for you already and have been communicating via email.

I love the idea behind this product but I have an issue. When I crete a step and I choose a woocommerce product to tie it too, I save the step and then it rests the options I set. For example checkout the screenshots. Here I configure the step - After I reopen the step once I saved, its all reset, look at the following screenshot. The documentation you provided say in form settings I can turn Woocomemrce on, but I see nothing of the sort. Help please! Thanks!

Yes it's the latest. Just sent Login info to you via your contact form on your profile. Thank you!

I have been searching far and wide for an elegant quoting system. And your plugin looks fabulous. BUT I need to know if it can achieve what I need. From your video I can see that a product can have an 'initial price'. And quantities can be applied. So my questions are: 1) Are quantities a slider or can a specific number be entered by the user? 2) Can products have an initial price and incremental increase per qty? For eg. Product A has a production price of $20 without a quantity applied, for an order of 100 (for $1 per piece) so the total would be $120 for that product. Thank you in advance.

Oh and I prefer to NOT use woo commerce for this, the products are customisable so there isn't a specific product for them.

I want the Step title to be much 'wider'. At the moment, it obscures the item detail. http://aematters.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-Shot-2015-04-13-at-14.09.51.png I cannot find where to place coding that changes the display to say 600px. Frustrating as it's doubtless a simple solution.

How does that change the width of the title? I want it to appear on one line.: Title to appear like this on the page and not: Title to appear like this on the page The size of the title is fine.

Not worked. Please go here to see: http://aematters.com/cost-calculator/

Hi loopus, I like your theme a lot. It is almost what I was looking for! However: is it possible to exchange the $ pricetag with something more open, like "0-100%" or even better: "xx completed steps of total number of steps" ?? * Yes, I want to obtain information systematically from the user * Yes, depending on the initial user choice, the form should be able to adopt * Yes, I want the user to choose from differnent images * BUT I want to make the price on an individual basis... is this possible? :) best regards, Michael http://www.blick3d.com Architectural Visualisation

Great plugin ! The new version works smooth , it's a fresh install as I didn't have any working forms. I believe many of this plugin's users would love that after completing a form, the responss should be saved in database. Just like the other buttons , you should add : View responses. This helps a lot, because it's hard to keep tracking of orders only by e-mail.

Small bugs that need to be fixed : 1. example: if you choose item A from step 2 that costs 1$ , then go back to step 1, the total price in the slider remains same 1$ , it should go back to $0. 2. conditions don't work for checkbox type.

hi, i am still looking at it, and i found that the quantity price does not work.

Just wondering if you know of any solution to capturing the data and sending it to a CRM in order to build a database of users. Agile CRM has integrations with Wordpress, Gravity Forms, and Zapier and seems like a perfect fit. From a business perspective, being able to use the data further than just the normal email that gets sent would be ideal. I know that Gravity Forms can be attached to the final step, but there's a lot of information in the form's steps that are extremely valuable. That's the good stuff!

I can't seem to be able to have the product be added to my cart after being selected. I have tried everything but it just will not be added to my cart afterwards. Is there something wrong with the plugin or is there someway to fix this? Also is it possible to make it so that as soon as they choose an option it will automatically do next step for them without them having to click it? Thank you!

It does not seem to be adding them to the cart for me. And none of my products require more than 1 option Thanks

Hi! Bought your plugin, and it's quite great! I just have one problem: When using quantity based price reductions, there seems to be a small bug in the price information when going back to quantity 1 from higher quantities. edit1: For example, when I set the price to 150 €, and then add a rule that when quantity is more than 2 the price is 105€ , the form will say that the price is 105 € even if the user has only 1 in quantity, when going back to quantity 1 from quantity 2. The price updates correctly (+150€) in the upper bar, but it is quite improper for me to say that the price is 105 €, when it really is 150 €. So the plugin shows the price right, but wont return the original price to the title after showing the reducted price even if the quantity is reduced back to 1. (edit 2: If i have the price as 150, and have two rules; 1) If quantity > than 1 item price becomes 150 and 2) If quantity > than 2 item price becomes 105, the price will be shown 105 in quantity 1, 150 in quantity 2, and 105 on quantitites of 3 and above when changing the quantity) Also, using this quantity based price reduction omits the value "No" in the "Display price in title ?" part, and shows the price anyway. Not sure if this is on purpose or not. Thank you for your help in advance, Regards, Reima

1) thats not the main problem, but yes, i cannot hide the price from the title when using reductions 2) I want to show the price in the circle that is in the progress bar, and the circle shows the price correct, but the title does not. See the red circled parts in the image, they should be both 200 €; http://i.imgur.com/LadX4Mb.jpg

hi loopus , i can't save any conditions .

Brilliant job on the new update! It's so much easier to create the steps in the form. I have noticed that the On/Off switches aren't rendering properly now and the price slider isn't centered anymore on my page.

It's currently on a development site that I have sitting on a MediaTemple server.

Great Update, a few future options I would love to see would be 1. The save responses to a database (as mentioned above) 2. Offer a download file on payment option dependent on a selection in the form (eg get a pdf of instructions or something after submission / payment...just an idea) Other than these 2 minor things great work, much easier to add new things in the back end now

Hi Loopus; Thanks for a great plugin! I have to agree with Jonaspt however. I upgraded to your newer version today and I've also lost all fields/options. I also tried to reload the items and rebuild the form but I'm unable to add Items to existing Steps. Thanks and Regards

Thanks for your quick reply! I restored my previous working version, redownloaded the plugin and then updated it in my backend and sadly it's still not working. There are no items showing up in the backend or on the page.

loopus, the latest update isn't working properly. After updating, the fields/options on my form are gone. And when I try to edit or create a new form on the back end, I just get a continuous green screen.

I just reverted to an old version loopus, I'm sticking with it for now. I don't have time to put the new version up, but I'll contact you later or wait for a new update.

Sure, thanks for the reply.

Really enjoying this awesome plugin and thank you for the paypal integration! I came to offer a feature suggestion that would be really amazing: Partial Payments. For many of us, the full amount of the website may not be due up front and an optional deposit amount to get started would be a great way to enhance lead capture. To keep it simple, perhaps just having an optional value for deposit amounts (i.e. $500) or pay full amount? The online payment is great because it creates a commitment. The larger amounts may not likely be paid by credit card though, as clients will often write a check. Just some user feedback, maybe you already thought of it too 8-)

I saw that, you're very dedicated to this plugin and we really appreciate it!

Hey, just bought - your plugin is sexy as fk! Good job! One thing: I have to agree with 'bradclarkuk' from 9 month ago - it would be lovely to inverse the color switch when selecting an item. That would be the usual UI experience. Is there a way to modify it in that way? Cheers, Adam

Thanks for the awesome plugin, got it working but also noticed (like others) that it doesn't work with minification turned on. Can you tell us in your experience which files should be excluded?

Hi loops, thanks for asking - we're using Speed Booster Pack @ wordpress.org/plugins/speed-booster-pack/

Hi there, just bought it. I use wp 4.1.1 . I installed it, and then entered the purchase code. But the ssettings screen won't show. On the settings page, i only see the field asking for the purchase code.

Sorry for asking this, I was tired and did not see it :D Great plugin !

Hi there, Is there a way to display a custom page based on the selection of items? Or have a redirection rule based on the product selection or prices? Please advise whether this will be possible with some customisation?

Hi! I have a pre sales question! I just don't understand how can i make the users to pay via this plugin. I want them to pay after we have decided a price. How can i do that :o For example, the users fills in the form and inputs his email. i then reply to his email and we decide on a price. Now how can i charge him that price via paypal? Is there a way i can send him a link in the email where he can pay via paypal? I know my question might be pretty noob, but well, uhm..im stuck here guys!

hello it is possible to use it to request a quote for creating site it is possible to desactivate the price estimate and display only the stage and a message in the laste stage thanks

Hi, I've got a problem with this plugin. It crashes my website and makes the back-end adminpanel disappear and the website wont load. As soon i manually delete the plugin from the list in FTP everything works fine. I use Wordpress version 4.1.1 Thank you.

Hello, Tried to change the WP_DEBUG and increase the WP_MEMORY LIMIT to 512. Website still wont load with the plugin activated. I get the following Errors: On PC: Service Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. Additionally, a 503 Service Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. On Phone: Notice: Array to string conversion in/home/content/domains/contentready.nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/WP_Estimation_Form/includes/wpe-tools.php on line 912 WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'Array' in 'where clause'] SELECT * FROM wp_wpefc_forms WHERE id=Array LIMIT 1 Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in/home/content/domains/contentready.nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/WP_Estimation_Form/includes/wpe-tools.php on line 913 Notice: Array to string conversion in/home/content/domains/contentready.nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/WP_Estimation_Form/includes/wpe-tools.php on line 912 WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'Array' in 'where clause'] SELECT * FROM wp_wpefc_forms WHERE id=Array LIMIT 1 Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in/home/content/domains/contentready.nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/WP_Estimation_Form/includes/wpe-tools.php on line 913 I hope you can tell me how to fix this.. Thank you.

Yes i checked that and it seems not to be the problem.

I would like to Change the options from On/OFF to YES/NO. Could you advise me where i can do this?

Pre-Sale Question here: Would it be possible with this plugin to do the following? If I wanted to offer a service like writing, at $5.00 per every 100 words written, and allow people to buy from 300 words to 2000 word articles, from 1 article to 20 articles each purchase. Creating a final cost to display based on these calculations, then sending the buyer to paypal. Is this possible with this plugin? thank you!

Is there a way around that, by me just making the first selection 300 instead of 100, correct?

Something that I will check out myself. The plugin is perfect for me using other things as well, so no big risk in buying. thanks!

Everythjing was fine, i was making my setup, but suddenly, i got "Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request." Now i can't access to my site anymore.
