What if I deactivate or remove a plugin that includes new triggers and actions?

The most recommended is remove first all triggers and actions from this plugin in order to ensure the correct workflow of AutomatorWP, because automations with triggers from this plugin can no longer be completed.

Will AutomatorWP slow down my website?

This depends heavily on how you use AutomatorWP.

You shouldn’t notice any performance impact while using AutomatorWP but, if you have dozens of automations, thousands of users, and your automations are configured with many triggers and actions, then yes, there could be a performance hit.

Try to configure automations only for real needs, for example, we discourage using AutomatorWP as an analytics tool (setting up automations to track page visits).

Is AutomatorWP compatible with any theme?

Yes, AutomatorWP doesn’t includes any frontend feature, everything is configure at the WordPress backend, so AutomatorWP doesn’t requires compatibility with any theme.

Can AutomatorWP be easily translated?

Yes, AutomatorWP is stored in the official WordPress plugins repository where you (and anyone) are able to submit your own translations.

Do you offer custom development services?

No, We’re unable to provide custom development services, as our focus is developing the core AutomatorWP plugin, and the official AutomatorWP add-ons.
