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.

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.

I generated the tag using the email name field to check for a match and it will not work. Every form submission with unmatched email addresses went through with no errors. I tried tweaking the tag to see if it can be resolved but it doesn’t work. Not sure why it wont work but I will have to deactivate this plugin and delete it.

I really like this very efficient and easy plugin. Some code should be added to get the full features : – A RED text saying that the email is wrongly written. – Style completely similar to the email field of CF7. Hope this helps ! And thank you to Author to adapt his code more or less as described, or better… (Code bellow is partially given by KliffBlack) ———————————————————- ———- Here is the code and where to put it ———- ———————————————————- <<<< Getting the message about wrong match >>>> 1. Open the php file –> Named : contact-form-7-confirm-email.php –> In folder : […]wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7-confirm-email-feild (yes, f e i l d, this is a typo from the author of the plug in) 2. Add the filter: –> What : add_filter( ‘wpcf7_messages’, ‘confirm_email_messages’); –> Where : at line 24 (for example, must be with the others) 3. Add the function it refers to : –> What : //add error message function confirm_email_messages($messages) { $messages[‘invalid_confirm_email’] = array( ‘description’ => __(‘The email addresses do not match.’), ‘default’ => __(‘The email addresses do not match.’), ); return $messages; } –> Where : at line 109 (for example, must be outside an existing function. <<<< Making the confirm_email input field look like the email one >>>> What : $class .= ‘ ‘.wpcf7_form_controls_class( $tag->type, ‘wpcf7-text’ ); Where : at line 50 This topic was modified 9 years, 9 months ago by darlio.

I submitted below comment on an open support request that is about 2 months old: This seems like it would be a really nice plugin if the author would maintain/fix it. I am NOT a coder, but I waded into this because I really think this sort of validation is valuable. I found the comment by aswitahidayat to be correct. There was no message in the code for invalid_confirm_email. Digging back into a much older support thread, I found this: add_filter( ‘wpcf7_messages’, ‘confirm_email_messages’); function confirm_email_messages($messages) { $messages[‘invalid_confirm_email’] = array( ‘description’ => __(‘The email addresses do not match.’), ‘default’ => __(‘The email addresses do not match.’), ); return $messages; } After some fiddling around, I determined where to insert the “add_filter…” and “function…” pieces. Plugin seems to work now with WPv4.5.2. What I don’t understand is why the author says he fixed this some 8 months ago, but the above fix is not in the plugin I installed today. And the same problem is reported 2 months ago. I would love to up this rating to 5-stars, and I will if I become convinced that the author is properly responding to issues and committing fixes he says in support are done, but in fact are NOT in the plugin when downloaded.
