You download the plugin, you go to plugins and there is no settings option. I went to go read the Installation tab and it says it’ll be on the left hand side. Well, its not there. Most plugins have a settings option on the plugins page.

This plugin sells it as a “feature” that it generates plain HTML. It should be considered a bug. This plugin allows you to move your cursor in the middle of an open “<input>” tag and you can then freely add a new field. This way, you’re able to break your page if you don’t know what you’re doing as the code that it will generate will look like this: <p><input <p class=”sib-VORNAME-area”> <label class=”sib-VORNAME-area”>Vorname*</label> <input <p class=”sib-NACHNAME-area”> <label class=”sib-NACHNAME-area”>Nachname*</label> <input type=”text” class=”sib-NACHNAME-area” name=”NACHNAME” placeholder=”Nachname” required=”required” > </p>type=”text” class=”sib-VORNAME-area” name=”VORNAME” placeholder=”Vorname” required=”required” > </p> This is one of the least user friendly plugins I’ve come across and it’s an absolute insult that this is the official plugin for Brevo. While Brevo’s user interface won’t win any awards anytime soon, they at least won’t allow you to “break” the e-mails you’re writing. This plugin can do that for your site. I can no longer recommend Brevo after having ranted about them all day. Forms aren’t connected to lists, opt in mails can’t be connected to lists if you don’t first give them tags (according to the documentation), even then it’s not working as intended, and so on. It feels like this plugin was written in 4 days by someone who learned how to code 2 weeks prior and that’s putting it generously.

This plugin works, we have it in use since a long time – but we have to patch the codebase over and over again with every update we do. Performance-wise, this plugin is a joke – they waste a lot of unnecessary SQL queries upon EVERY pageload. Never seen something similar – but they do their full initialization queries within the frontend and within every AJAX call. We checked using Query Monitor: Upon every page refresh using F5, we see queries like these being performed – have you every seen something like this? This all belongs into a “once upon plugin activation init-routine” CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS wp_sib_model_users ( id int(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, email varchar(255), code varchar(100), listIDs longtext, redirectUrl varchar(255), info TEXT CHARACTERSET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci, frmid int(2), user_added_date DATETIME NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) ); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS wp_sib_model_lang ( id int(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, frmID int(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT -1, pID int(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT -1, lang varchar(120), PRIMARY KEY (id) ); SHOW COLUMNSFROM wp_sib_model_forms LIKE ‘gCaptcha’ SHOW COLUMNSFROM wp_sib_model_forms LIKE ‘termAccept’; SHOW COLUMNSFROM wp_sib_model_forms LIKE ‘confirmID’; SHOW COLUMNSFROM wp_sib_model_forms LIKE ‘requiredMsg’; SHOW TABLES LIKE ‘wp_sib_model_forms’; SHOW COLUMNSFROM wp_sib_model_forms LIKE ‘cCaptchaStyle’ SHOW TABLES LIKE ‘sib_model_forms’ Some of these queries run multiple times, their results are not even cached. They have several functions like these: public static function forms_table_exists(){global $wpdb;return $wpdb->get_var( “SHOW TABLES LIKE ‘” . self::TABLE_NAME . “‘” ) == self::TABLE_NAME;} Performance-wise, this is a complete joke. Luckily, not all devs work like this – just imagine having 20 plugins installed and every plugin spending 10-20 unnecessary SQL calls – you’d end up with 100 WASTED sql queries rather fast. No wonder that most WP pages are slow af. If you can, pick a different mail provider instead of Brevo / SIB.

Bon plugin pour mettre en place des formulaires, dont l’inscription à des newsletters. Je recommande ce plugin et l’outil Brevo en général que j’utilise régulièrement pour des campagnes.
