cformsII

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 · 34% 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.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Although a lot of features had to be removed, this still is a great and easy to use form-plugin. Thank you for keeping it alive! This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by gerobe.

   Hi! This is the most customizable and quick form plugin ever! Great thanks to its authors and developers! Additional gratitude for quick support! Wish all the best! I’m sure it is unfairly low number of installations, that must be millions! This topic was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by Edward Bedarev.

   I use CF7 as well, but I like the way cForms II is built.

   New versions are worst. For first – can’t restore to txt and load in other project. Why?? Old version (Cform) could do it. Second – troubles with sending emails. Old version could include SMTP data, now need third-part plugin. Third – troubles with captcha. New version need third-part plugin. Then problems in generating html, now option “select” generate to frontend classical “select” (display:none) and (i don’t know why) active ul-li structure… I’m really crazy about it.
