How it's measured →1.8%
of downloads still active
At least 60 of 3.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,678 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 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
- One page off on “sort”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “export” and “order” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

The plugin did not work for me first, but because of a great support it now does perfectly. Also it was fixed in an update in general. Will use it now on multiple pages 🙂

If you have some kinda problema with the sort, just update the plugin and clear all the browser cache! This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by mrcdf.

This plugin works great! It’s easy to sort fields for export and saves the selected field order for your following exports. Support is great too, fast and effective.
