How it's measured →2.5%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 16K 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 3 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.

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.

What to do about it
- One page off on “forgot password”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “user registration”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “user login” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

The plugin is easy to install and comes with good documentation. At first the plugin couldn’t be installed because of a conflict with the plugin ‘CF7 Google Sheet Connector Pro’. The support fixed it quick and I am now using the plugin. It works really well.

Thanks guys for the super good plugin and super fast support (using pro version)

Easy to setup and works like a charm BUT plugin is missing some important features, such as templates to override and create emails for registering users and translation strings for front end texts like error messages, confirmations etc.

Great plugin, works well. The service support is also excellent. Recommended.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ rodricus4.5y ago
This is a promising plugin, it does what it says, namely to make a custom registration form with the help of Contact Form 7. What I don’t like is that they make an extra menu button in the WordPress Admin interface which lists the users that are registered through the custom registration form. If you click on a user you don’t see the fields that a user filled in during the registration. Apparently those fields are available if you have the Pro-version, but what’s the use of this list if you use the free version? It’s just unnecessary bloat and since there is already a “Users” page, it makes it unclear what the added value is. It would also be handy if I could just edit the URL of the registration button at wp-login.php (because I have a custom registration form right?), which I currently can’t with this plugin.
