Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact form”, “contact form 7” and “contact form 7 entries” for “submissions”, “reply” and “cf7”. “contact form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “submissions” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “contact form 7” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “reply” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “contact form 7 entries” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cf7” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →9.6%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 20.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,667 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 1 release 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.

You the best. And please look at IP field it could get two IP from headers, and get error for field size.

Too bad I saw this after i got hundreds of submissions for a game….

Great Plugin. The ability to see all your form submissions from Contact Form 7 in the backend of WP is needed and this plugin took care of it. Hoping it gets extended to have more features, such as an easy XML Export Button.
