Biggest opportunity: “gravityforms” and “tooltip” 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.

of downloads still active

At least 100 of 5.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.

    It looks very promising, I was excited to find a free alternative for simple tooltips.Unfortunately, after making my form, and tested it. The tooltips do not pop-up. I tried Hover, but also enable Click option etc. But nothing makes the tooltip able to go visible.

    Great plug-in! The latest version resolved the previous issue with tooltips not displaying properly on checkboxes and radio buttons, which makes it easy to recommend. It’s even easier to recommend given that it’s currently the only free tooltip plugin for Gravity Forms! The interface is very clean and usable and the whole thing in unintrusive and easy to deploy in existing forms. This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by lazerfloyd. Reason: Agreed to modify review after being contacted by developer regarding upcoming fixes This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by lazerfloyd.

    Hi, Very nice plugin! It works fine if I use label fields, but if i use radio button fields or check mark fields then nothing is showing in the tooltips window. Is it possible to fix this?
