Biggest opportunity: “admin”, “admin logo” and “custom logo” 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.

How it's measured →3.2%
of downloads still active
At least 6K of 185.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,191 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
75/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.3.34, well behind 6.8.
- Reviews souring. Recent reviews read meaningfully worse than older ones, an early sign of decline.

Recent review vibe
read from the latest 12 reviews to 2018-10-23Older reviewers loved how simply it swapped in their own admin logo, but the most recent one couldn't get it working on WordPress 4.9.8 and says it needs an update.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| admin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| admin logo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| custom logo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| login your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wp admin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Release cadence

Eh bien non, même s’il est agréable d’avoir sous les yeux l’emblème de son site, Demandez au gestionnaire d’un multi-site s’il est superflu de savoir en permanence et d’un seul coup d’œil quel site il actualise !!!!!
