Likely abandoned

Critical

No update in 109 months. wp.org search heavily penalizes stale plugins, and users avoid them.

What to do: Ship a compatibility release to reset the freshness signal.

Readme fails 5 of 8 AI readiness checks

Needs work

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does, names who it is for, names what it works with, headings and lists and enough to quote. Short description is 35 characters, too short to say what the plugin does.

What to do: Rewrite the readme so each failed check passes: say the job in the first line, answer real questions in the FAQ, name who it is for and what it works with, and use headings and lists. For the same check on your plugin's own website, run the free AI visibility scan from AgentVania.

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 14 ratings. A handful of reviews makes your star average fragile and weakens trust at install time.

What to do: Run a structured in-plugin review prompt and a review campaign.
