With roughly 1,000 active installs, this is a niche utility plugin, not a broadly adopted solution, but popularity is above the curve relative to its size.

25/25

Last updated May 2026 and tested with WordPress 7.0, the maintenance signals are excellent and suggest an actively maintained codebase.

User Rating

14/15

A 92 out of 100 rating from 5 reviewers is very strong, though the small sample size means the average could shift easily.

Zero support threads, opened or resolved, means there is no track record to evaluate and no public history of help being given or needed.

WP Compatibility

15/15

The plugin requires WordPress 4.9 or higher and is tested with 7.0, and as a focused jQuery UI extension compatibility is solid.

What It Does

Custom Datepicker NMR lets you configure the date format (such as dd.mm.yy) on date fields within Contact Form 7 forms, overriding the default format. It does this by hooking into the jQuery UI datepicker that Contact Form 7 already uses, so no additional datepicker library is introduced. In practice, a site owner who needs European-style dates (e.g., 25.12.2026) or another non-default format can apply it site-wide or per form without writing custom JavaScript.

Who It's For

This plugin is a good fit for site owners running Contact Form 7 who need a specific date format on their date fields, particularly European or international users expecting dd.mm.yy or similar layouts. It is best suited for small to medium sites that already rely on CF7 and need a lightweight, single-purpose tweak rather than a full form builder overhaul. Examples include appointment booking, hotel reservations, and rental inquiry forms where date entry consistency matters.

Who Should Skip It

If you are not using Contact Form 7, or if the default date format already works for your audience, this plugin adds no value. Users on modern form builders like WPForms, Forminator, or Fluent Forms should use the built-in date format options those plugins already provide.

The Bottom Line

Custom Datepicker NMR is a focused, well-maintained utility that does one thing, customising the jQuery UI date format inside Contact Form 7, and it does it well for users who specifically need that. The 74.73/100 quality score reflects a solid rating and fresh updates, dragged down by its tiny install base and lack of any support thread history. If you run CF7 and need a non-default date format, this is a sensible, lightweight pick; everyone else should look at WPForms or Forminator.

Choose WPForms when you want a full modern form builder with built-in date fields, conditional logic, and integrations rather than a CF7-only tweak.

Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder 94/100

Pick Forminator if you want built-in date fields, polls, and quizzes out of the box and are open to moving away from Contact Form 7.

Database Addon for Contact Form 7 – CFDB7 88/100

Choose CFDB7 when your real problem is saving CF7 submissions to the database rather than formatting a date field.

Fluent Forms – Customizable Contact Forms, Survey, Quiz, & Conversational Form Builder 88/100

Pick Fluent Forms if you want a free, modern CF7 alternative with native date fields, conversational forms, and strong integrations.

SureForms – Drag & Drop Contact Form & Form Builder, Payment Form, Survey, Quiz & Calculator 88/100

Choose SureForms if you prefer a polished drag-and-drop builder and are willing to leave the Contact Form 7 ecosystem.
