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.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Can’t activate this plugin since it is not compatible with the latest version of Ninja Forms. update: Apparently Nina Forms supports reCaptcha by default. Removed 1 star review. This topic was modified 7 years, 6 months ago by solutioinc.

That is a great plugin, however it doesn’t support multi form in the same page. So I do some edit by my own. I added a new wp_print_scripts function so the api.js will call in the header but not under every recaptcha div And add a new onload js function for render the recaptcha.

I am using Ninja Forms 2.9 due to compatibility issues of addons. This works perfectly.

Upon activation, there was a message that came up saying this plugin is not compatible with Ninja Forms version 3 and then it automatically deactivated the plugin.
