Hi Ben,
Not sure which amazing description you are referring to but we wrote the plugin description to focus on the opt-in form functions and lead generation features of Magic Action Box – which is what 95% of our users use the plugin for, and which 75% of our code was written for.
Magic Action Box is an easy to use but powerful lead generation plugin that lets you create a focused and high converting feature box in minutes. It let’s you display professional looking opt-in forms and feature boxes in your WordPress site.
Magic Action Box also integrates with Gravity Forms to build complex, powerful and beautiful contact forms in just minutes.
Some features:
- Easily add an action box before or after a blog post or page
- Set up horizontal opt in forms in your header or home page
- Easily add opt in forms – with stunning designs – to your sidebar.
- Create Email Opt In Forms
- Integrates with Gravity Forms
- Make your own action box styles
- Or, pick a style from one of the pre-configured designs
We do apologize if you were able to infer from the description that you could do Sales boxes and Contact Form 7 integration. These Pro features (and more) are extras that we’ve added to our core functionality (which has always been free) over time and to which the vast majority of our 130k+ user base happily do without.
We would be happy though if you could review the core functionality of the plugin to help us improve the plugin for you and other users.
And oh, widget area is available in the free version. not sure how you missed that.
