 * Torn. The plugin itself it cool. Worked well. What we hadn’t counted on was how
   invsaive it was to rewrite so much custom javascript we had. First, I hadn’t 
   noticed the toggle for the map feature. That botched up a custom map display 
   we had. Toggle resolved it. Easy peasy – support was great helping us quickly
   troubleshoot that. 
   BUT we have a custom application process with dozens of fields
   related to licenses, etc. TOTALLY unrelated to the plugin. It stripped out all
   of their data in about 10 fields – gone. We had to track down the conflicting
   javascript, rewrite ours and manually re-enter the missing data in the php my
   admin. Yes, I know, should have used a testing sandbox with a duplicate of the
   site. The map piece was one thing. We would have never thought it would affect
   something completely unrelated to the plugin. It’s a cautionary tale. You may
   not think it will affect your site – especially if you have customizations, but
   think again.

 * [@suzbinky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suzbinky/) terribly sorry to 
   hear the js code had caused conflict on your existing interactions. We have not
   heard anyone else report such issues. Would curious if you could share insight
   on your findings so we can add necessary changes to our js code.
 * Kind Regards!
