MachForm Shortcode

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I have machforms v 3.4 and this plugin really helped me. Prior to using it the forms were disabling my menu and weren’t showing up correctly in Safari among other weird twerks. Now – it works perfectly and I can keep using my self hosted machforms – which I love!!

   I use MachForm since several years for two others of my HTML Websites and I wished I could integrate forms into my new WordPress site: http: // adventuresroom.com. With your Shortscode plugin my forms are perfectly integrated into the choosed theme and give an exceptional and professional appearance. Thanks for this Machform Shortcode you did a very good work!

   This things works excellent! It really saved the day. I’d just tried to make my own plugin for this out of frustration and it didn’t work so it was fantastic to see someone had already tackled it. It’s shameful MachForms advertises that the forms can easily be added to wordpress when they really can’t. It took someone else to make a plug-in to get their forms to embed in wordpress.
