Contact Form 7 CiviCRM integration

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 · 83% 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.

   They hint that you need to set various fields but dont let tell what the are. So the example they give doesnt work.It requires documentation that shows a correctly developed from along with the required CiviCrm settings

   Since I got this working (with some quick and helpful advice from the author) it has worked very well. I love the flexibility of the API/form processor approach, which basically lets you do anything API v3 can do. The functionality is better than the Caldera Forms it replaced and it’s free! The catch is it’s really quite difficult to set up because the documentation is incomplete and debugging is difficult (the “API REST Log” extension in CiviCRM looks useful but I couldn’t get it to work). The two big “gotchas” that caught me were the example CiviCRM path was wrong for WordPress (should be wp-json/civicrm/v3/rest) and the names of the form fields must match the entity names in the API, some of which (custom fields) are quite hard to discover. The problem is, there are a lot of things you have to get right (paths, permissions, API keys, variable names, API and PHP versions) and there are so many permutations of all of these that if it doesn’t work you can spend days and days googling for clues and tearing hair out.
