AWeber – Free Sign Up Form and Landing Page Builder Plugin for Lead Generation and Email Newsletter Growth

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 95% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.

   I am reaching out regarding a critical issue with the AWeber for WordPress plugin that started occurring on my website on February 21st, 2026. This issue is causing Fatal Errors during our user registration process, preventing other essential plugins (like LearnDash and PaidMembership Pro) from completing their tasks. Technical Environment: WordPress Version: 6.9.4 PHP Version: 8.3 Plugin: AWeber for WordPress The Error: My PHP error logs are consistently showing the following Fatal Error: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument #1 ($item) must be of type AWeber\Model\AWeberCollectionItem, null given, called in [...]/wp-content/plugins/aweber-for-wordpress/class-aweber-core.php on line 107 Problem Analysis: The error appears to be triggered during the user registration/checkout hook. It seems that the plugin is receiving a null value or an unexpected data structure from the AWeber API, which the current plugin code does not handle, leading to a script crash. As a result, the entire PHP execution stops at the AWeber integration step, preventing subsequent actions (such as granting course access in LearnDash) from executing, even though the payment is successful (Stripe 200 OK). Response from AWeber support—after identifying the bug took me 34 working days: Thanks for reaching out! This is a known issue and a fix is currently being worked on. We will follow up via email once the fix is in place. …/… I do not have an ETA for when this will be resolved but it is actively being looked into.

   Looks like all of the bad reviews were from 3 to 11 years ago. It works great. I love the landing pages that you can create with it as well. Some themes need to get on board with integrations. This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by jonmroz.

   This plugin works for me. With its shortcode I can place a sign-up form anywhere I want or need one.

   Installed, got it working fairly easily. Wanted to drop a review as it has outdated reviews that don’t give it proper credit as it is right now. Almost didn’t install because of it.

   Forms seem to work just fine. Subscribers are added when someone comments. Landing pages when connected to a wordpress page always get an error when attempting to process a payment. Aweber is connected to Stripe for payment processing in my case. I am running WordPress 6.0.2 and PHP 7.4 The Aweber plugin is up to date

   Great Idea, but when activated doesn’t work on the pages (when creating a form) only in the widget section (using the widget) So it is useless.
