Biggest opportunity: Add “earn money online”, “earn money” and “earn” to your wp.org tags. You rank #8, #9 and #10 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

0.9%

of downloads still active

At least 1K of 108.7K 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.

    UPDATE May 2025 Constant problems again with the plugin. I didn’t realise I still had a subscription, bought one for five websites and only used two. The creator does not respond to messages promptly. My issue is urgent. Vendor list is no longer showing AFTER a bloody update. I am going to be reassessed again by Skimlinks for possible affiliate partnership and having no list of vendors does not look good. Also, he made optional changes on how the code is viewed, as it was taking about 20 seconds for the code to show, so he added it to show on the same page. Does not work either. These people should not be charging for premium plugins when there are constant problems for website users. Have reduced my previous five stars to two and am saving my breath on whether I will hear back from the plugin creator. It’s just not on. UPDATE Sept 2024 Owner added a code popup on the same coupon, which I love. It’s extremely fast and works well. Just glad it’s sorted. UPDATE: Bought the pro again, but it’s made my website and the codes even worse than it was. The reveal code does not open, just goes straight to the affiliate link, and if the reveal code does work, it’s extremely slow yet again. Even slower than before. At least 30 seconds before it reveals code. Who is going to wait that long for a bloody code. When I raised these issues weeks ago, I get no response. I believe that he should refund me. I had no issues when this plugin had expired, but wanted to show respect and courtesy so bought the plugin again, but it’s not a very good plugin. I’ve already added over 250 vendors and over 1000 coupons, so its not like I can just delete it. I just want the plugin to work well, and fast. UPDATE: The creator has been very helpful and been trying to please me with the things that I wanted to add, but there are still issues. However, I do love the look of the coupons, and the coupon reveal is opening up a lot faster than it was previously. The plugin creator actually thought that my website was slow, because the click to show was taking about twenty seconds to load, when it is his plugin that is the issue. I provided admin details for them to sort out issues that I had been emailing him about for weeks, but he doesn’t seem to care. Shame that I’ve put so much trust in this plugin and have to stop using now and ‘show code’ instead, to make sure it’s faster access for the user. There is a feature where you can opt to create a page for each coupon, but what is the point of this as it just provides the text and does not send the user to the actual coupon. In order to show the coupon, I had to manually add the shortcode, and this was taking a long time, then there are visual issues with this now which I need to sort out. There are far too many problems with this plugin for it to be sold as a pro version. This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by gwadm. This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by gwadm.

    I am using this plugin not for coupons, but for other reasons and it fits perfectly. Setup is very easy. I wanted to change the text and filter options, so I decided to contact support. The support team helped me out so well. The coupon site looks amazing and just like I wanted now. Highly recommend!

    I have bought this plugin for my two review site. (After using 1 years I have bought again.) In these period It works perfect. When I ask a question to support team, they wrote me back in 1 hour. This speed is really good. Also They helped me lots of issues about the plugin. All of these are because of my bad english. Thanks for their patience…
