They quickly investigated the problem, replicated the issue on their side, and provided a patched version for testing in a very short time. After updating the plugin with their provided build, the issue was resolved successfully. What I appreciated most was: the speed of their responses; the technical competence of the team; their willingness to investigate a real-world compatibility issue instead of providing generic replies. Great support and great customer care. Highly recommended. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/79362491dc1ca300d33ce6caf267b8e6df996659d4d0b2077b7a2c6207634624? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Exceptional Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exceptional-support-88/)󠁿 [angebru04](https://profiles.wordpress.org/angebru04/) April 30, 2026 The support was exceptional; they responded to my issue immediately, took charge of the case, and resolved it within a few hours.

Contacté con el soporte, y aunque el error era mío (nos dimos cuenta al final), no pararon hasta encontrar la causa. Y menos mal, porque yo ya había perdido toda esperanza de conseguir que funcionase, pero gracias a ellos lo pudimos solucionar y encontrar el error. Desde luego 100% recomendable!!!
