the worst part is a spent a lot of time learning their UI so I could get “just what I wanted” and all my testing worked fine… I wasn’t until I started loading up the site to go production that it fell on it’s face. I managed to put in some hacks and kinda hit my release date (no concern from them on me getting that done) and then continued to hit other issues as the site got more use.
Somehow I found the plugin use-your-drive (doesn’t seem to show on simple searches for Google Drive plugins) and though I’ve had very little time to fully understand their UI, I was able to recreate my pages. I’ve had a couple of things crop up, some due to my limited time with their product and some subtle issues found in my usage and the support from them has been WONDERFUL!! It’s also a 1time purchase.
