  • Not ideal

    The plugin and its feature do not offer what a double opt-in feature should offer. Therefore, I am not satisfied with what the plugin has to offer and do not find the offered solution sufficient.

  • Awesome Plugin

    Worked out-of-the box. Awesome! Great work! Double opt-in can be pretty tricky to integrate. Just one thing: It would be great to customize and translate the error and confirmation messages on the /opt-in page.
