You do not need to pay for a subscription, but you are right you need to have a Vanilla Forum installed on your server or subscribe to the hosted version. I appreciate the feedback and I think we have made it clearer.

We also have some new videos to help with installation here:

Thanks for the feedback, I did create some videos to help with installation

Hi Bob

The plugin works for me on two blogs I run so I know it works. Below are the 5 reasons it would not:

1) Forum is actually not there
2) DNS isn’t updated
3) You pointed at an embedded page instead of the actual forum
4) Does PHP have cURL enabled? (just *having* curl isn’t enough, it needs to be in the copy of php actually running web requests)
5) Did you modify the template improperly? It’s possible that curl can’t process the pages.

I should add this works on both the hosted and self hosted forum version. I am running it with Vanilla 2.1 and WordPress 3.5.2

it works for self hosted as well. it might be a curl issue you have on your server

It’s not hard,

do something like:

on_sent_ok: "var lead = document.getElementById('Lead_Type').value;_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',1,'Lead Type',''+ lead+'',1]);"
