Some suggestions

    First of all, let me thank you profusely! This is one of the greatest plugins of all time. I mean that, sincerely. I am impressed by how much scope you have in it and how diligently you work to keep it updated. It makes my life so much easier. Major kudos to you!

    I’ve noticed that the loop function doesn’t always get all my custom type posts, even though I haven’t limited the count. I’m not sure why. I am hoping that it’s something silly on my part, but, just in case, I wonder if it’s something you could consider looking into?

    I have a small suggestion. I am also a fan of Formidable Pro. I would love you to consider being able to pull in data from their records. Given that you have some support for ACF, I hope this doesn’t sound like a crazy suggestion. Formidable does offer methods of presenting their data, but they are imperfect – especially since they are tied to records created by a single form. Your plugin would be able to offer the possibility of combining data from multiple forms into a single, unified presentation, which would be awesome – if it were able to fetch data created by those forms.

    Anyways, keep up the good work!

    Thank you very much for the comment, I’m glad you’ve found it useful. From its beginning, the plugin received regular user feedback, which helps me to keep improving it. I use it on all my projects in one way or another, so it’s good for me also.

    About the loop not getting all posts sometimes – that is strange. It’s hard to diagnose without reproducing the issue, but I’ll go through the loop function and check if anything could be causing this. The shortcode basically just passes arguments to WP_Query, so it could be an issue with the database. Have you noticed it on other sites?

    About Formidable Pro – I’ve looked into their documentation. Since it creates its own database table and structure, there’s not a simple or general way for this plugin to access the data. Adding this feature would involve building specifically for Formidable Pro, and since I don’t own the plugin, I won’t be able to test it. I see they have many shortcodes for presenting form data, so I believe the best solution is to suggest their developers to extend those to meet your needs.

    I appreciate the suggestion, and I’ll keep it in mind. There could be some general parameters to do database queries.. I’ll think about it and let you know if I come up with something.
