Biggest opportunity: Swap “elementor forms”, “uploads” and “uploads field” for “drag and drop”, “drop” and “drag”. “elementor forms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “drag and drop” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “uploads” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “drop” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “uploads field” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “drag” sits at #18 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 →6.8%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 14.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,272 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders 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 4 releases 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “elementor forms”, “uploads” and “uploads field” for “drag and drop”, “drop” and “drag”. “elementor forms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “drag and drop” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “uploads” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “drop” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “uploads field” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “drag” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “elementor forms upload”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

A nice and small extension, just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, the colors of the button, which I can choose in the elements options, are not applied, the standard colors stay in use. This could probably be fixed easily.

translate option of this plugin is very useful, even normal elementor upload field does not have this option.

Thanks for this. It should be native functionality in Elementor. What is the difference between free and pro versions?
