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.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    Grateful that this plugin still exists, as it is still needed. Allows easy vertical splitting of form content in ways that you want to rather than what GF allows you to do.

    It was a challenge to arrange columns with conditional logic fields. If some field is hidden, then all columns become broken. This plugin perfectly resolved my problem. Thank you!

    Thanks for this addon! Why do I use this? Well by default GravityForms doesn’t allow to hide a column if it’s content is hidden under a particular sequence of conditional logic. With your addon, I can fix this. So thanks!

    I had to disable all the plugins to get the site up again. Once up, I reactivated the logging plugin to see that this plugin was updated at the time the site went missing. White screen crash. This plugin is now deactivated and the site is back up. This topic was modified 4 years, 5 months ago by elizwood-1.

    I somehow have been hiding under a rock for the last however many years this plugin has existed and just found it completely on accident today — THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!! The only change I might suggest is to change the names of the “column start” and “column end” fields to be called ROW start and end, since that is what they actually do. But whatever I’m not going to nitpick. Great great great plugin. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME MANY HOURS!

    Great plugin, been struggling with achieving a specific layout for a few days and this plugin solved it in minutes. Simple to use, and achieves exactly what it sets out to do.

    This plugin does the job as advertised. Also, I had a question that I submitted to the support team and they gave me a personal reply that accurately addressed my specific need. Recommended.
