Biggest opportunity: Swap “embed”, “shortcode” and “resize” for “3d configurator”, “modify” and “administration”. “embed” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “3d configurator” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shortcode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “modify” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “resize” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “administration” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 40K of 2.5M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Toine Rademacher8mo ago
What a horrible, clunky, and invasive plugin. Every wp-admin page refresh I get an admin notice that takes up half my screen and after a few seconds gets smaller with a weird animation. To get this notice gone, I have to opt in and share my data???? This is what it says:OPT-IN to get email notifications for security & feature updates and occasional offers. If you OPT-IN you will additionally get: Automatic removal of the small notice which is shown on the iframe Boxes in the administration remembers their state Additional sections on the help tab Exclusive coupons Isn’t this all against the WP.org policy? Stop irritating users just for them to share their data and for you to send marketing messages!!!

The plugin offers a lot of useful features for working with iframes, and the plugin developer was very helpful with trying to figure out a problem I was having. This topic was modified 2 years, 10 months ago by winterstreet.

I rely on this plugin to embed CRUD applications integrated with additional databases into WP and there is nothing else in the plugin repository that even comes close. Last week, when I had an issue after an update, Michael responded really fast with a workaround and within a couple of days, an update was released that fixed the issue permanently. Not that’s service!! Highly recommended.

When it comes to including iFrames in your posts and pages, you’ll definitely want to use this great plugin. Plus, the developer is very friendly and quick to respond to questions in the forum. 5 stars.
