Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact form 7” and “lead capture” for “webform” and “crm”. “contact form 7” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “webform” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “lead capture” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “crm” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.3%

of downloads still active

At least 3K of 234.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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.

This plugin shipped 7 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.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

7 of the last 10 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

    I encountered a significant issue when using the Zoho CRM Lead Magnet plugin (version 1.7.8.4) in conjunction with ContactForm7 5.8.6 on WordPress. Upon activating the Zoho CRM Lead Magnet plugin without even configuring form field mappings, the email sending functionality becomes disabled, resulting in a 503 error response upon submission.This problem specifically arises in environments with PHP version 8.0.30.

    There is no way to remove a field from a form. (According to their support person) So, once you add a field, the only way to remove it is to start over. There is no hidden field support – like every other major form plugin. Upon asking support, was told that this would require modifying the wordpress code(?) and to talk to wordpress. (according to their support) Good concept – a form plugin that directly integrates to the CRM. It fails in the fact that it was developed by people who do not know how to write plugins and a support team that doesn’t understand them. At best this could be considered a beta version, but given the lack of ability to remove fields and the clunky interface, it is probably closer to alpha. What is worse is that if you ask for support, there is a 50% chance that you are told that Zoho is not the producer of the plugin and you have to get to someone who knows better. Avoid. Run away. Do not use.

    “How to create client id and Screct key” on setup screen. User confirmation message, “Thank yous. The data has been submitted successfully.” Embarrassing for a large company to put this out.

    I discourage anyone from using this plugin. When it works, it does what it should. When it breaks, don’t rely on Zoho for support. During two years of using the plugin, I’ve repeatedly been told by Zoho that it is simply not a Zoho product. Of course, it is managed and produced by the Zoho extensions team. And of course, occasionally I find someone at the Zoho Extensions team with time to investigate issues with this plugin, obviating the false claim from Zoho support teams that this is not a Zoho product. Three years after launch the plugin only has 3000 documented installations, which falls well below the threshold for user interest that would encourage reliable developer support. Zoho CRM email parsers not quite as efficient to set up, but if they break, they do not break functionality of live Webforms. I’ll probably work with Zoho to fix whatever is broken in this, but more likely I’ll be moving all my forms to an email parser for CRM integration.

    select { height: auto !important; } Are you kidding me? You singlehandedly destroyed all the selects on my website. Couldn’t you just wrap your elements in some id or class? This topic was modified 6 years, 5 months ago by frullo.
