of downloads still active
At least 200 of 48.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| contact form your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| directory your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| members your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| staff your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
7 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 7 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
