How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 13.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

Directory rank
Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
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.

Great!!!!

… that is actually the opposite of “very limited”. I’m so impressed by the function of the plugin and the great support of the author, that it was a great pleasure for me to make a donation.

This saved me a lot of trouble. I already use CF7 so this was a natural solution when I needed fields in confirmation emails to populate a custom post.

This was exactly what I was looking for, it saved me a ton of custom coding. The integration with wp_insert_post() makes it really easy to use. I was afraid it wouldn’t support custom post types since there’s no mention of it in the documentation, but it was as simple as creating a field called post_type, setting the default (with CF7) to the post type slug, and hiding the field via inline styles. I was also concerned that captchas wouldn’t work since there’s a strange spam warning in the description, but it worked fine with reCAPTCHA.

This plugin saved me hours of work. Still getting the hang of it, but it should do exactly what I’m looking for. I just wish the documentation was a bit more complete.

I tried all of the other plugins that are supposed to do this(which is actually very few). This one is by far the best.
