 * Hi Clean Talk Team
 * wow that was faster than expected 🙂
 * I followed your instructions and at a first glance it works as expected.
 * But then I noticed some Ajax timeout error when adding some Builder Elements 
   like for example the WordPress > Pro Menu and then try to change settings.
 * Then the editor freezes completely and after some time the Ajax Timeout shows
   up.
 * Its not happening with all Builder Elements, but I haven’t tested them all.

 * Hi Jory
 * thanks for confirming this. In fact that’s a powerful and unparalleled option
   in Pods.
 * Maybe it would help newcomers if this makes it into the documentations with a
   few code examples.
 * I also used this option to truncate the length of excerpts and think there might
   be quite few more use cases for this feature.
 * Cheers, Ped

 * [@marius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marius/) you are right about the
   public betas. That was when those 1 star reviews started to trickle in.
 * When I compare the progress some of the existing page builders made over the 
   past 2 year it starts in fact to alienate me how little Gutenberg delivers…

 * Hi and thanks for the hint about the classic editor plugin.
 * Imho the best time to pull something as fundamental as Gutenberg into core would
   be after it is so good that a few hundred thousand people will beg for it.
 * Sure there is a huge demand to rejuvenate the good old dated WordPress, as the
   wide spread usage of existing page builders proves.
 * While WP is too big to fail I personally think there are other areas that more
   urgent need a brush up – like for example the Media Library among some other 
   things

 * Thanks 🙂
 * Just have to add that the Sygnoos support also excels!
 * I had a minor theme related issue and they provided ultra-fast a working solution.
 * I just can encourage everyone who is happy with the free version to get the Pro
   Version as it’s some of the best spent money for a commercial plugin.

 * Hi [@sygnoos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sygnoos/)
 * That sounds great and in the meantime another product enhancement crossed my 
   mind:
 * A Popup theme customizer for those that want to modify the visual appearance 
   of the existing templates, also with an option for export / import.
 * Of course this can be done already with CSS, but making it easy for the users
   is always a good selling argument 🙂
 * Wish you happy holidays and a great new year 🙂

 * Sadly your reply makes me even more insecure about recommending your products.
 * Here are a few links about articles with script examples how this issue can get
   solved and it looks like it shouldn’t be too difficult.

   you sell.

 * Sorry – this is not a feature request, this is simply about how how happy I feel
   with a product you sell.
 * You raised some customer expectations in your offering you simply don’t keep 
   up with.
 * If you can’t handle a basic request for 4 years, then it’s maybe better just 
   not to offer that feature at all, then in a way that generates a feedback like
   this. It’s that easy.
 * The rest of formidable form looks formidable, however I haven’t tried out everything.

 * You’re welcome Thomas
 * Just had to append the review about the great support that comes with your plugin.
 * Kudkos for Torsten’s recent support about that annoying DIV ….
 * Keep up the great work – I will need some more licenses soonish 🙂

 * Thanks for looking into this. 🙂
 * Looks like this worked – the message has disappeared and everything is working
   fine.
 * Regardless this Language issues, I can confirm that your plugin kept working 
   fine all the time. It must have just been this minor issue with the rebuild of
   those language packs. 🙂

 * Looks like i got the same here too. The error message I get is the following:
 * Updating translations for Nav Menu Roles (de_DE)…
 * The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find
   End of Central Dir Record signature
 * I uninstalled the plugin, did a new install from the plugins, as well as downloading
   the plugin and uploading the unzipped files.
 * Nav Menu Roles are working nicely, but still keep getting this nagging message.
   The same still happens after updating to Version 1.8.6
 * hopefully this glitch can somehow get fixed as this is an excellent plugin 🙂
