Biggest opportunity: “call now”, “call us button” and “email now” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 10.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,666 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

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 |

| call us button 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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Nice plugin works ok to a point, but not work correctly with the latest wordpress update. Does not switch from call us to email us, when the opening and closing times have been added.

I don’t know about “ultimate”, but this plugin was just the thing. Installed and got a a call now button on my mobile site.

This plugin works as advertised. Creates a nice, customizable button on your site that lets visitors call you during business hours or email you when the business is closed. Pretty awesome.

I just recently found this plugin and have since used it on several of my clients’ websites. What I really like about this plugin is that it automatically changes the button from calling my client’s phone number to emailing them when they are closed for the day. It takes around 30 seconds to setup, which is another reason I was able to install it on several web sites in minutes.
