How it's measured →2.6%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 116.6K 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.
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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| constantcontact your tag | #11 | #9 | 0 |
| constant contact your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| forms your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gravity your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gravity forms your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “constantcontact”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “constant contact”, “forms” and “gravity” 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.

First off, thank you to the developers for making a rock solid plugin for this integration, and I really appreciate the recent 3.0 update. It expands the usefulness of this plugin considerably. Highly recommend this plugin.

Great for connecting Gravity forms, transferring contacts over to Constant Contact and using their automation tools.

This add-on for Gravity Forms works perfectly – just as you would expect of an official Gravity Forms add-on. This is because the developer uses exactly the same coding standards. It’s built on top of the Gravity Forms Add-On Framework so the UI is familiar and easy to use. It also means that a great deal of security, future-proofing and compatibility with other add-ons is guaranteed.

I’m not a big constant contact fan, but a few clients use it. I’ve set this up a couple of times and it works just fine. Not happy that it has to use their username and password, but the alternatives I’ve seen also need username and password. So I’m going to blame constant contact instead of this wordpress plugin. For everything else, though, the plugin works as expected and lets you map all sorts of fields. So far it has done everything I have needed.

Works well for the basics but would be much more useful if it could pull custom fields set in Constant Contact into the field mapping options when setting up a feed. (Relevant support thread) Regardless of functionality though the fact that the Constant Contact login info is stored in the database as plain text is a non-starter.
