Biggest opportunity: Swap “form submissions”, “form entries” and “elementor forms” for “save”, “save form” and “sheets”. “form submissions” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “save” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “form entries” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “save form” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “elementor forms” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “sheets” 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 →3.9%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 507.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, 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.
This plugin shipped 14 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.

The plugin could be still useful as it doesn´t save IP addresses of users when filling out a form. But unfortunately the export as csv function does not work. So I cannot use the data in any way.

Awesome plugin, works perfectly and saved me from the hassle of converting an existing form to CF7 just to save submission data to Flamingo.

Site worked ok, but i couldn’t load any backend pages until this plugin was deactivated.

The plugin is great! Saved life before Elementor added native form submission save, but still 🙂 For anyone, who facing the Critical error issue in wp-admin panel, check the count of the saved submissions. While I have 3k+ saved submissions, WP memory limit was set to 768M and it hardly handled it. There are 3 simple solutions: 1. Delete old submissions you don’t need 2. increase WP_MEMORY_LIMIT more, like: define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘512M’ ); (add or update it in your wp-config.php) 3. in the wp-content/plugins/sb-elementor-contact-form-db/sb_elementor_contact_form_db.php file in line 564 change posts_per_page to 50 instead of -1 ‘posts_per_page’ => 50,//- 1,
