Smart Forms – when you need more than just a contact form

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 · 98% run the current release. 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.

   i loved thie plugin and the ease of use, until 2 weeks ago when suddenly my lifetime memberships password and user name no longer worked. I have many client websites that i now cannot edit the forms on suddenly. I have been getting no replys and no response from the email and contact form. NOT COOL This topic was modified 2 months, 3 weeks ago by triggerfish. This topic was modified 2 months, 3 weeks ago by triggerfish.

   Not only is this easy to use & flexible, some of the features (such as conditional fields & payments) makes this a very powerful form tool. Support was outstanding when I had questions!

   Mit Smart Forms Pro lassen sich sehr nützliche Kontaktformulare erstellen. Wenn man das Prinzip des Aufbaus einmal verinnerlicht hat, sind sie innerhalb von wenigen Minuten erstellt. Responsiv sind sie zudem auch noch. Fomulare mit “Conditional Logik”, bei denen sich zusätzliche Eingabefelder erst zeigen, wenn eine Auswahl angeklickt wurde. Damit komplizierte / aufwendige Formulare übersichtlich bleiben, können mehrere Schritte (Ebenen) erzeugt werden. Mich stört nur, dass sich die Farben der Sedebutton nicht exakt bestimmen lassen. Das ist aber kein Grund, um einen ganzen Stern abzuziehen.

   I really don’t know how I got it to work on the first place. Installing it is supper easy. the issue with WordPress and sending emails. I had to install another plugin so it could send emails. But once you get that accomplish you are good to go. And Man!!! How good is the support? The creator even helped me figure out something I could have not all by myself. If you have any errors or don’t know why something is not working. just reach out to the support team. They take their sweet time answering (that me being silly and demanding. LOL!!!!) it took them about 24 hours on weekdays, to replay, and they seem not to answer on the weekends. But once they answer they are there for you, I mean. They even went into my WordPress to look for what was wrong and fixed it for me. Who takes the time? well, they did. I could not be happier. Because, I was looking for a plug in I could use to make online contracts, that would auto fill in the data, and send an email to the customer. Guess what… We got it done!!!! and thats not all, it sends the email as you want it and can send a pdf file as well so anyone that receives that email, can download a copy of the PDF and the information you choose to share on it. I’m far above satisfied with this plug in. —- I just wish it could also manage inventory for rental. but hey who knows maybe in the future.
