Set "Tested up to" to WordPress 7.1
Tested up to WordPress 6.1.16; the current branch is 7.1. Matching the current branch keeps its full search weight.
- 3
Swap “payment” and “payment gateway” for “mtn mobile money” and “eshop”
“payment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mtn mobile money” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payment gateway” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “eshop” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
