Important
Please install the Bento plugin on a development or staging site before using it in production. This ensures that all your plugins are compatible and there are no conflicts. Additionally, make sure you have a recent backup handy. Whilst we've tested this plugin on clean installs of WordPress, we can't guarantee there will be no issues due to the nature of the WordPress ecosystem. Use at your own risk (which you can mitigate with testing on a staging site and backing up properly!).

This plugin does not auto-update.
For now, Bento's script is personalized and dynamic meaning that it changes on every page load. This is necessary to power our on-page personalization engine and a lot of the magic that's under the hood. Please make sure you exclude your custom Bento.js script if you are using a caching plugin such as WP Rocket or SuperCache.
Bento now supports sending your WordPress transactional emails through our reliable email infrastructure. This gives you several benefits:
