The two-time Plugin Madness champion is back to take the crown. Starting with the Optimization category, does ACF have what it takes to progress all the way?
With over 300,000 active installations and over 1,000 5-star reviews on wordpress.org, Formidable Forms is definitely a formidable opponent. Will this advanced WordPress form builder make it to the top of this year’s competition?
A newcomer to Plugin Madness, Code Block Pro provides fast highlighting of native code in your favorite programming language. Can this up-and-coming plugin set the stage for an epic Cinderella story?
On the other side, WooCommerce is back for another shot at the title, performing well in the annual event and making it to the championship round in 2016. Will this be the year that the world’s most widely used e-commerce plugin takes the crown? What about the trophy?
