Biggest opportunity: “admin”, “shipping” and “woocommerce shipping” 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.

of downloads still active

At least 70 of 5.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 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.

Removal-risk signals

53/100

Maintenance 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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.0.18.

Reviewers like what it does for phone orders, though the latest one had to patch the plugin themselves to get the scripts loading on current WordPress and WooCommerce, and both mention there are no settings or instructions.

Ranked about #18,200 to #19,000, alongside the other plugins at 70+ 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.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

    The JS is not loaded when using the newest wordpress and woocommerce version.Had to change the follwing code, afterwards it does what advertised add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', function() { //Check if the current page is the WooCommerce "Add New Order" page if (is_admin() && isset($_GET['page'], $_GET['action']) && $_GET['page'] === 'wc-orders' && $_GET['action'] === 'new' && ($_GET['post_type'] ?? 'shop_order') === 'shop_order' ) {

    We use this plugin for sales and CS agents placing orders over the phone. Much easier than switching to another user. At first I was confused because there are no admin settings and no instructions. So I just went and tested it and it’s amazing.
