Ninja Forms Legacy End of Life Update

This is your friendly reminder that the Ninja Forms Legacy plugin will be removed from the WordPress.org plugin repository on December 31, 2021.  The Ninja Forms Legacy plugin was a stop-gap, developed to assist users who had failed to update Ninja Forms to version 3 after the 2.9x codebase became deprecated in April 2021.

Ninja Forms Legacy Contact Form will be removed from the WordPress.org repository on December 31, 2021.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team for further assistance.

If you are still on the 2.9x codebase, the Ninja Forms settings, forms, and form data will no longer be available to you unless you install the Ninja Forms Legacy plugin.
