 * The forms are created and hosted at [https://www.cognitoforms.com](https://www.cognitoforms.com).
   The plugin allows you to seemlessly embed your forms created with the Cognito
   Forms form builder into your WordPress website.
 * Let me know if you have any additional questions.

 * I really like the cognito forms editor, but the ability to create simple calculations
   is eluding me, and I’m not a dummy! Please provide some more concrete examples
   of how to create a simple order form in the support section of your site.
 * Thanks a million!

 * We have updated our support site with information and examples on creating calculations.
   You can find the information by following this link [http://help.cognitoapps.com/understanding-calculations](http://help.cognitoapps.com/understanding-calculations).
 * We are currently hard at work on our Payment Module. With the Payment Module 
   we will also be introducing new order forms templates.
 * Let me know if you have any additional questions.

 * Wanted to let you know that I understand your reasons for taking your time with
   the docs…

 * …and that I’m slowly managing to get my calculations to work with the information
   you have provided thus far.
 * I did have a problem trying to get this type of calculation to work (copied From
   your support site) `=Attendees.Count(TShirt.Contains("Youth”) * 15 + Attendees.
   Count(TShirt.Contains("Adult”) * 20`
 * – The error message I got had something to do with mixing strings and numbers.
 * I don’t know if this is the best way to handle it, but what I ended up doing 
   was creating a separate number calculation for each item I wanted added up,
 * `NoAdultTs=Attendees.Count(TShirt.Contains("Adult”)`
    `NoYouthTs=Attendees.Count(
   TShirt.Contains("Youth”)`
 * and then creating a currency calculation to get a subTotal:
 * `SubtotalTees=(NoAdultTs*20) + (NoYouthTs * 10)`
 * If if I have questions regarding other calculations is it better to ask them 
   here or on Cognito’s support forum?
 * I’m going to leave a stellar review because despite the lack of documentation
   regarding calculations, your form builder is one of the easiest and feature filled
   I have ever come across, and I have tried them all!

 * I was able to reproduce the problem that you had with the calculation code copied
   from our support site. I was able to find an error in the example calculation
   code. I have updated the example with working code for the calculation field.
 * Try this in the calculation field:
    =Attendees.Count(TShirt.Contains(“Youth”))*
   15 + Attendees.Count(TShirt.Contains(“Adult”)) * 20
 * We would recommend asking question on the [Stack Exchange](http://stackexchange.com/)
   site and tagging the question with Cognito.
 * Thank you for the review and feel free to submit any ideas for future features
   to our [Idea Board](https://trello.com/b/ZS1698De/forms)!
 * Let me know if you have any additional questions.
