Constant Contact Forms

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 · 43% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Given how long Constant Contact has been around, this plugin is surprisingly poor. The interface feels outdated, the user experience is clunky, and the overall experience is disappointing! Although this is kind of a new plugin, it feels like it was built in 2007!!

   At least once every week this plugin disconnects. The auth code just disappears. I’m looking for an alternative.

   Surprised this plugin is still in the WP plugin repository in its current state, especially when these reviews have been saying the same thing for 5 years. We’ve been using it for 9 months and it has broken 4-5 times. There’s even a built in message saying to bring your troubleshooting to a WordPress Forum, which includes setting up an account and copying the error log, then waiting for someone to reply several days or weeks later. Each time we have had to instigate a new API connection and/or set up a new integration. The client is pretty frustrated that they keep paying our firm to fix the issue. I told them to switch email providers or they can pay us to simply hard code the form directly from CC – still don’t know if that’s possible as it is in Mailchimp, Kit, and other providers.

   We have been having connectivity issues with this plugin for months – across more than 20 sites on different hosting plans. Last bug took down several of our sites with a critical error. This is unacceptable for such a large organization. Do your own research before deploying this plugin at scale. It is unfortunately not reliable, and despite numerous conversations with customer support and sending log files, there is no solution to connectivity issues other than to “just reconnect it”.

   The plugin never refreshes the login token, so you will regularly find the plugin has mysteriously disconnected at some point, and that all signups have silently failed. The support forums are filled with support requests all saying the same thing for years. Please, take this seriously.

   I am looking to switch from using Constant Contact just so I can have a better form option for my website. This plug in is awful. You can’t do hardly any customization, and so I end up with a form that has ugly, short form fields, a big square button, and a blue box that says “edit form” stuck right in the middle of my form. No idea where it came from or how to get rid of it. So I can’t use it anywhere on my site. It’s just awful, and frustrating and makes me wonder if this bare minimum is what they do with all their products.

   Seems that about once every few months, I have to reconnect my Constant Contact account to my WordPress site / forms. Ridiculous that it can’t work and STAY WORKING for more than a few months.

   This plugin does what it markets without any new paid subscription model.But it does not allow further customization for the titles, form max-width, colors, or custom typefaces. The developers should also collaborate with visual builders like Bricks, and Elementor.Looking forward for more rubust integrations.
