Biggest opportunity: Swap “cf7” for “date time”. “cf7” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “date time” sits at #5 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 →14%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 142.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,671 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.

I’ve set this up on two sites now, and it is important to make sure that the fields in the Form and the Mail tabs are both using the same mail tags. Then it works just fine.

Bought the Pro version but activation is impossible. The plugin says that the license is not activated. Every try to get in contact with the author failed. No response at all. Keep away from this plugin!

Disgusting practice of devs putting basic functions like translation and “script optimization” behind paid version making this useless for most people.

Works perfectly
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ iammeat3.5y ago
I first found that this plugin wouldn’t work, but I realised after some testing that the parameter order of the field is vital to make it operate correctly. The parameter order must be as follows. If you put the class before the field name, the field will not operate correctly. [field-type field-name class:walcf7-datetimepicker …]
