Biggest opportunity: “adaptive”, “adaptive content” and “adaptive function” 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 →1.5%
of downloads still active
At least 50 of 3.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.0.31, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| adaptive quicktags your tag | #1 | #1 | — |
| adaptive your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| adaptive content your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| adaptive function your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| adaptive shortcode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Directory rank
Ranked about #20,100 to #21,200, alongside the other plugins at 50+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Hansjörg Jäckel10.7y ago
Hi Developerteam, Thanks very much for your great & excellent work. It’s very helpful to hide content for responsive webdesigns! Please maintain this powerful & functional WP-Plugin also in the future … Best regards
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Joe Rhoney11.1y ago
I built this plugin from the WP Mobile Detect plugin, which pretty much did the same thing, but has slightly different shortcodes. WP Mobile Detect had a problem I needed handled. I fixed the problem, modified the shortcodes to what I think make more sense and added a Help tab for quick and easy reference. Then I decided I should share it with everyone. I hope you’ll find it as invaluable as I do! Thanks to Jesse Friedman for the authorship of this plugin’s predecessor, WP Mobile Detect.
