Biggest opportunity: “international telephone input”, “ninja forms” and “smart phone addon” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →5.0%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 4K 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.

It’s a good idea, but it works every other time. I used version 1.1.0, which did not work stably. Version 1.2.2 does not work at all. It does not define the country and does not load the flag. I suffered for a long time. As a result, I deleted it. I use the usual phone form. This topic was modified 2 years, 5 months ago by vizh.
