of downloads still active
At least 1K of 85.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,579 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks 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.

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
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “cat” (#4 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

I have Get Response and it does all I need. This is just an extra charge to make money. Why can’t this be fixed?

I have 2 optin forms saved, but neither shows in the dropdown when attempting to add an optin to a page, so I am unable to do anything at this point, because I get a message “you must select an optin form”, but I cannot because neither of them shows! can anyone help me?

Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ David10.4y ago
I first tried GetResponse’s own plugin… let’s just say that was an underwhelming experience. There’s a lot of functionality in this plugin, and there are premium options for people who want more than the basics. But even the basics that this plugin includes (like creating a simple, mobile responsive form that utilizes the theme’s styles) are well beyond what GetResponse is offering. That being said, this plugin isn’t perfect and doesn’t stand up to exceptional plugins like MailChimp for WP. For instance, I wish there was the ability to reorder form fields (maybe that’s a premium feature?). However, this is probably the best option that GetResponse users have.

I was struggling with the GetResponse wordpress plugin and found this instead from Optin Cat. It’s much better and makes the GetReponse Form mobile responsive (GetResponse forms don’t seem mobile responsive as they come). This makes it much better – highly recommended!
