Where it ranks in wp.org search

Not yet in the top 24 results for any search we track. The fixes below are what move it in.

Tags still to break into the top 24: checklist, checklists, tasks.

What to fix first

  1. 1

    Patch and release an advisory before anything else.

    Open security vulnerability. A known unpatched vulnerability is recorded against this plugin.

  2. 2

    Ship a compatibility release to reset the freshness signal.

    No update in 97 months. wp.org search heavily penalizes stale plugins, and users look for a recent release.

  3. 3

    Set "Tested up to" to WordPress 7.1

    Tested up to WordPress 4.9.31; the current branch is 7.1. Matching the current branch keeps its full search weight.

  4. 4

    Ask happy users for a review

    9 reviews so far. wp.org gives the rating more weight as the count grows past 25.

  5. 5

    “checklist”, “checklists” and “tasks” aren't earning a slot

    You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 9 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.

Light support activity. Few recent support threads, so there is no backlog to report.
