Answers.Text: Ok so the WP Repo is the WordPress plugin which I have succesfully uploaded and activated. But what do I do with the BUILT FROM THIS REPO caldera-froms-1.9.7-release.zip? I extracted the caldera-forms folder from the zip and uploaded it into /wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/ext/ folder, but it does not show up in the CiviCRM Administer Extensions menu.

  <https://civicrm.org/blog/jaapjansma/community-maintained-fork-caldera-forms>

  Do I need to install a Caldera Forms WordPress plugin first and then install a CiviCRM Caldera Forms extension?
  
  When I go to <https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/caldera-civicrm> there is a dependencies folder and several other caldera folders.... which ones of these need to be installed (or maybe all of them)?
  
  It talks about "building" or about using "composer" to install some of these... Is there a pre-built version that can just be uploaded/FTP firectly to /civicrm/civicrm/ext/ folder without having to get into all the fancy building/composing?
  
  Thanks

  You want to download one of the prebuilt zip files from <https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/caldera-civicrm/caldera-forms/-/releases> Do NOT use the links at the top of the page under 'Assets' but use one of the links at the bottom:

  You only need one of those zips - they are basically the same although the 'caldera-forms-1.9.7-release.zip has a slightly later version of the monolog library. That's the main 'Caldera Forms' plugin.
  
  You also want one of the plugins to integrate CF with CiviCRM. Options include:
  
  * [Caldera Forms CiviCRM](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/cf-civicrm/)
  * [Integration of CiviCRM's Form Processor with Caldera Forms](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/cf-civicrm-formprocessor/)
  
  If you use the second one, you also need a couple of other plugins/extensions - see its documentation.
