of downloads still active
At least 10K of 77.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,671 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms 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 2 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.

Makes it easy to add a flexible content layout where your customer can easily add an ACF content block with a CF form in it. Is simple, it works and it is free.

Got me up and running quickly with integrating a CF7 form, instead of requiring the user to paste in the shortcode. Great time saver, thanks!

it’s working perfectly and easy to use. Good job team
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Paul Bystrzan5.1y ago
If It would be 100% free plugin I would make donation to stop displaying the advertising, but serving advertising users on all ACF and many non-ACF related pages / screens it’s bad idea. This topic was modified 4 years, 10 months ago by Paul Bystrzan.
