Biggest opportunity: Swap “forms” for “multi step forms”. “forms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “multi step forms” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.0%
of downloads still active
At least 8K of 399.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, 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.
This plugin shipped 4 releases 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.

We purchase this plugin over a year ago and everything worked great. We even purchased the Plus version; however in id September, the plugin suddenly stopped saving the form entries to the system. The email still works but the benefit of the Plus version is being able to export the saved form entries. So now, the form works and we receive an email but have to manually compile everything. I reached out to their support and they were essentially like oh well it hasn’t happened before and there’s nothing we can do. Absolutely POOR support, DO NOT PURCHASE THE PLUS VERSION. Free version is fine if you’re willing to manually compile; however, there are better looking multi-step forms out there with much better support!

Really nice multi page form. Perfect for client agreements. I hoped to add a link from the text box. To terms and conditions or definitions pages. But text boxes do not yet seem to support links. Anyway, it is great!! Five stars !

I tried it, but after I received error, It didn’t allow me to go through… 🙁 Maybe I am doing something wrong, but am missing error notifications (like are in CF 7 or similar). Client simply does not know what he did wrong… Hope for improvement in the future. This topic was modified 6 years ago by ninobien.
