2 days ago I posted that I was having an issue with a form. I have not had a single response to my query. People are asking why we should use piklist over a competitor and I believe this is one of the main reasons. If I cannot fix this issue I will have no choice but to go and find an alternative like ACF. Despite really enjoying working with piklist I cannot use a piece of software that when issues arise I cannot get any assistance with the issue. I have a business to run and need prompt answers to issues and questions.
This does not fill me with confidence about staying with piklist. -

Let me first say Sorry.
I was unaware of the fact that piklist is a labour of love, it came with the theme we are using for a large project and the professional look and feel and information of the website lead me to believe this was a full time project.
I guess once the project I am working on is handed over I should read everything and learn enough that I can help.Again Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Hi @openmic!
No worries at all. Thanks for understanding!
The primary time that built and maintains the project are all professional developers. We each have our own businesses that we run and use Piklist on virtually every project. So the good news there is that this isn’t just some framework sitting in a bubble. We’re personally invested in it and use it every day on dozens of projects from small to enterprise in size.
We have goals for Piklist, but the intention is that the core of Piklist (what’s referred to as Piklist) will always be free and community maintained. It’s a tool by and for developers to make amazing work in a third of the time. It’s not easy to provide support as quick as we can, although Steve really gives it a shot and does amazing! But we’re at a place now where community support is becoming even more critical.
If you’re an experienced user please help others. Piklist is powerful and it’s hard to document everything it’s capable of (though we try). Users helping users will always be the best form of support for the core.
If you’re an experienced developer, please roll up your sleeves, get familiar with the Piklist code (at least portions, it’s pretty huge) and submit pull requests! In the not too distant future we’ll be adding unit tests to help it become even more robust.
Thanks for using Piklist! 🙂
