Removed from WordPress.org
wp.org closed this plugin on 2026-08-02 — for a licensing or trademark violation. It's no longer installable or updated. If you're running it, plan a replacement: closures are often security-related and WordPress won't warn you.

Biggest opportunity: “abandoned”, “contact form 7” and “email” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 6.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,294 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 6 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| abandoned your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| contact form 7 your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| email your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| export your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Directory rank
Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

This plugin is amazing. Very easy to setup and I now get details of every person who abandoned filling in my form. Having this plugin is a must!

Great plugin – needs more users to download and support! This would be amazing if it could automate follow-up emails (e.g. one after 15 mins, 1 day and 3 days after abandonment) This topic was modified 4 years, 5 months ago by dmi.direct.
