Biggest opportunity: Swap “accessibility” for “form block”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “form block” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 12K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,668 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 8 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.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “300+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 11 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 300.
At the current install trend, crossing 400+ in roughly 198 days.

Block Form is a really great plugin that makes it easy to create fantastic forms. We will definitely use it frequently for new projects and replace other form plugins in older projects.

If you are looking for a straightforward and easy-to-use form, you will find it here. Great support!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Dennis Hipp2.3y ago
Just tried out this simple Form Block plugin and it’s awesome – every block in the editor should be like this. Making a contact form is super easy. You just install it, add the block in the editor, pick the pre-made contact form, and you’re done. Editing the fields is a breeze, and it even includes a GDPR checkbox automatically. It works right away, sending the info to the WP admin email without any extra setup. The free version is perfect for beginners.

Ich habe mir das Form Block-Plugin von Epiphyt mal näher angeschaut und finde es wirklich klasse. Das Erstellen eines einfachen Kontaktformulars ist mit dem Plugin sehr einfach: Nach der Installation gibt’s einen neuen Block namens Form Block. Form Block im Block-Editor einfügen, das vordefinierte Kontaktformular auswählen, und schon sind die wichtigsten Felder im Block-Editor vorhanden. Die Formularfelder können im Block-Editor leicht bearbeitet werden. Eine DSGVO-Checkbox ist beim Kontaktformular automatisch mit drin. Den Text man bei Bedarf im Editor anpassen. Das Formular funktioniert sofort nach dem Einfügen und schickt die Formulardaten per Mail an den WP-Admin. Weitere Konfiguration ist nicht nötig. Die kostenlose Version ist für mich momentan das ideale Kontaktformular-Plugin für WordPress-Einsteiger und ich setze es in der Pro-Version selbst inzwischen auf vielen meiner Websites ein.
