It broke our site and had a hard time to discover it was actually this plugin, which worked temporarily. It uses Google Font Oswald which will not update to HTTPS even with plugins to force it to HTTPS. Broke our site, had to re-write the entire Contact page. Tried to contact the author and the website has been deleted. Not a good sign. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/14e8480ad01c7f8638573b596cbb4b6a2d95bab50399565f5a97b39f696b16e3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-1983/)󠁿 [Marinos](https://profiles.wordpress.org/helppostgr/) February 7, 2017 Not working for me … http://prntscr.com/34yuep ..This plugin was almost exactly what i needed ….
