TOOK OVER MY ENTIRE SITE – 0/5 STARS

At first I added the Swifty Content Creator and Page Manager, which would not show up anywhere on my dashboard or pages to allow me to edit anything. It also failed to install the recommended forms plugin, which didn’t seem useful to me anyhow.

Then I installed the ‘Swifty Site Creator’ plugin from the website (thinking this would allow the plugins to function) which failed to install.

Then I installed the ‘SwiftySite’ plugin, which upon installing took over my entire site – As in added a new theme, and erased all of my content and pages; loading a blank ‘no content’ message in place of my pages.

When I de-activated all of the Swifty plugins, my pages were visible on my dashboard however they would only load as blank pages.

Needless to say, I had to backup my wordpress site from my hosting provider and lost several hours of work. I was never under the impression that I was downloading an entire theme or a plugin which would override my entire site in the manner in which it did.

I’m sure this plugin is very useful when setting up a new page, but I do not appreciate the experience I had with this plugin. I was already getting a headache with the installation process, and that was before I had realized what happened; followed by a panic attack when I saw what it did.
