2.1%

of downloads still active

At least 2K of 94.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 11 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.

    It would be great if you could place a short code of contact form made with Elementor pro or wp forms for example instead of just a cta. in fact you can but it does not work because when placing the data in the form does not allow the page where it is displayed is reloaded. correct that and you will be 5 stars friends.
