of downloads still active
At least 200 of 10.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,671 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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.6.1, 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.

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

Need a quick solution to set minimum dimensions for image uploads and this worked right out of the box. Thanks!

Tried with a single image upload field, with min+max conditions, etc. Works like a charm. All translations work as well, I generated mine (Danish) from the .POT file included. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for this nice plugin 🙂 I translated your plugin manually with poedit since it is not properly prepared for GlotPress internationalization. Here is the DL links to get my fr_FR translation and add it to your next version: PO – https://jeanbaptisteaudras.com/gforms_uprules_translations/gforms_uprules-fr_FR.po MO – https://jeanbaptisteaudras.com/gforms_uprules_translations/gforms_uprules-fr_FR.mo Regards, Jean-Baptiste Audras @audrasjb https://jeanbaptisteaudras.com

This allowed me to set minimum dimensions for gravity forms photo upload. How is this not built in to gravity forms??? Thankfully there is your plugin.

It’s always nice when a plugin just works. I was sceptical given it hadn’t been updated in so long. But if it aint broke, don’t fix it
