of downloads still active
At least 200 of 26.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| acfpro your tag | #5 | #6 | 0 |
| acf collapse | #8 | #20 | down 1 |
| collapse your tag | #24 | #23 | down 5 |
| add collapse | #18 | #24 | 0 |
| collapse content | #19 | #24 | down 4 |
| acf your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| expand your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| flexible content field your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Slipping on “collapse”. Down 5 places since 2026-09-20, now #24. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- “acf”, “expand” and “flexible content field” 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.

this should be a built-in feature. To be more useful the plugin should also remember for collapsed layout. Wouldn’t be hard to implement using ajax. This topic was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by virgodesign.
