does anyone know if cforms can update again automatically one day?
Guess the automatic upgrade thing will only happen when the plugin author satisfies whatever complaints the plugin-site-maintainers has with the plugin.
Until then it’s a manual thing. I believe there was some activity in Trac to automatically upgrade plugin, even when not hosted at Extend/plugins, but not sure what has happened with that.
I had asked the same question in the cforms forum and the response was along the lines of “no one is *forced* to upgrade” and that there is little chance the plugin is going to make it back on wp.org ever.
While I’d rather have it auto update-able of course, he has a point. Anyway, many of my installs (customer & personal sites) I don’t update, or at least not every time a new version or patch is available. Some other customer sites I do update, but I also get paid for it – so I don’t complain about that either.
…alternative to cforms? I haven’t found one, trust me I’ve looked at all the other plugins and not even one comes remotely close…
