Biggest opportunity: “post grid”, “responsive” and “siteorigin page builder” 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 →3.8%
of downloads still active
At least 7K of 185.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,188 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
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 5.2.30, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| post grid your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| responsive your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| siteorigin page builder your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| widget your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| widgets your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Nice plugin Neat design Although I had to deactivate it since it is in conflict with other plugin. The error message is Fatal error: Cannot redeclare scripts() (previously declared in /home1/alshareef/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ultimate-member-wp-user-frontend-addon/ufa.php:22) in /home1/alshareef/public_html/wp-content/plugins/addon-so-widgets-bundle/addon-so-widgets-bundle.php on line 32 I know your not responsible for that error, but It would be helpful if you could take a look at it. Thank you.

Did you make a widget blog post with pagination . It also has the option to change the size featured image , as well as limit the amount of text fast. If there was this widget I would not need an expensive theme …
