### 󠀁[The best I’ve found so far](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-ive-found-so-far-2/)󠁿

I’m so disappointed that this plugin is going to be retired soon. It was such a 
great alternative to Contact Form 7 which is a PITA when it comes to formatting.
Anyway…I’ve really enjoyed using Caldera Forms and I will truly miss it. Yet another
reason why I’ve been developing exclusively with the Avada theme (they have their
own built-in forms, very similar to Caldera).

Used to be really good, not anymore. This plugin hasn’t been updated in a long time,
no devs are responding on the support forum. You may want to look at alternatives.

It will not be continued into 2022. It’s sad they sold to NinjaForms, which I dislike
for so many reasons. Wished they had looked for people who cared for it and wanted
to keep it alive. But no, you must kill it for not reason. It’s really disappointing
for all the endless hours I invested in it.

Caldera used to be the best but now we had to move many sites away from it because
of all the errors (jquery, php, javascript). Caldera Forms doesn’t work anymore 
on any of my sites

Want to change the message appearing on notify emails. Doesn’t take my changes. 
Email sending works but always with the predefined summary. After hours of Google
search to solve the problem I will give it up and move forward to another form plugin.
