It does not work, shows an “Request returned with error: 200,OK” error on the screen.

carterson2 ❄️2️⃣ 11, 2020

i installed it and it shows up in plugins, but it doesn’t do anything different from a normal post. No answer choices or nothing. Its like its not finished or I am missing something…

Developer doesn’t respond to posts on here about bug in the plugin. “Save Draft” button deletes your saved questionnaire, so don’t click the save draft button. Will put star rating up when fixed.

Just what I was looking for, it’s stable, working and simple to both use and to style. I really like stuff that just works, thanks. 🙂
