From 5 stars to 2 as it works but has some serious problems.

    June 13th, 2022, I reported a problem and gave WPForms the code to fix the problem. It’s now November 25th, 2022, but nothing has been done. It’s disappointing that an expensive plugin like this doesn’t get updated properly. I though this company would offer better support as users pay a lot. I even gave them code to fix the problem. wordpress.org/support/topic/can-you-add-css-page-ids-to-the-dynamic-checkboxes-please/

    Today, I also found out the dynamic checkboxes don’t support aeiou sorting with kanji as well. They just use JIS numbers for sorting making lists random in a way. This can easily be fixed by sorting dynamic checkbox lists by slugs. My old rating was 5 stars but now it’s 2 as the plugin works but it’s without quick updates on important things like this. It’s important to be able to sort dynamic lists so they can be divided without excessive coding that slows down sites.

    I hope you can improve your plugin.

    This is not a support request but review of the current plugin. Please make it user friendly for programmers by offering referencing of checkbox list items with the post IDs. We shouldn’t have to use CSS like :has to reference the parent to get the child items.

    Hi @a4jpcom,

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review.

    I’m sorry that it has taken this long for us to ship this feature. We take customer feedback very seriously here at WPForms and as much as we would like to start the development of every feature suggestion that we get, a few considerations have to be made. One of the considerations is how many similar requests we have received for a feature. While we intend to ship every new feature suggestion we get, some features tend to take a bit longer.

    I apologize that we don’t have an ETA for this feature but rest assured that this is being considered and we’ll communicate any news we receive at a future date.

    I hope this helps and thanks again for the suggestion!

    This is more than disappointing as you have all the code needed and have no post or page class to reference at all now for your li. This is not a feature it is just putting the page/post class in the li. I’m very sorry but if you can’t add <?php echo get_the_ID(); ?> to the CSS class. Or some thing like this <?php echo “tag-link-” . get_the_ID(); ?> so dynamic checkboxes can be referenced I’m changing my review.

    Hi @a4jpcom,

    I’m sorry for the frustration. I can understand what I big difference this will make when designing your websites.

    I’ve bumped this up internally and I will circle back once I have any updates.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Thank you.

    Having dynamic checkboxes without any way to reference them individually regardless of position is terrible. If we add a new category to WordPress now any checkbox with CSS styling, for example a background color, moves one position depending on the position in the list. Pre checked checkboxes also change 🙁 The only selector you offer now is the CSS position. That’s why every page, post and category in WordPress has an ID so stuff like this doesn’t happen.

    In CSS, identifiers (including element names, classes, and IDs in selectors) can contain only the characters [a-zA-Z0-9] and ISO 10646 characters U+00A0 and higher, plus the hyphen (-) and the underscore (_); they cannot start with a digit, two hyphens, or a hyphen followed by a digit. Reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/syndata.html

    That is why you will need something something like <?php echo "tag-link-" . get_the_ID(); ?>. It doesn’t matter what the “tag-link-” bit is called. That’s your choice. But please fix this as soon as possible. It shouldn’t take 3 months and 3 weeks to copy a tiny bit of finished code. And if a problem is identified, it’s sad 1/4 of a yearly contract gets used up before anything is fixed. Thank you for everything else though. The plugin is very nice.

    Hi @a4jpcom

    Thanks for your follow-up.

    Sorry, we use a private GitHub repository to track these suggestions; thus, we cannot share the link.

    Thanks!
