Biggest opportunity: “ad”, “ads” and “facebook” 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 10 of 11.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,277 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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

63/100

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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, well behind 6.8.

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.

No release in a year

    There are currently four Wishpond plugins which fall into the category of “free but useless unless you pay $$$”. Unfortunately, this is one. The products are awesome but the marketing tactics seem so against the way everyone else does it in WPdom. See my thorough review of another here. Currently a subscription is listed starting at $45/month, but don’t be fooled–that’s the yearly rate. Monthly billed monthly starts at $69. It’s not wrong to charge, just wrong to try and trick people. It doesn’t work too well now days.
