Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai agent”, “chatgpt” and “claude” for “abilities api”, “agent” and “limited access”. “ai agent” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “abilities api” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “chatgpt” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “agent” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “claude” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “limited access” sits at #7 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 →7.2%
of downloads still active
At least 800 of 11.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,015 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

What to do about it
- Swap “ai agent”, “chatgpt” and “claude” for “abilities api”, “agent” and “limited access”. “ai agent” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “abilities api” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “chatgpt” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “agent” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “claude” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “limited access” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “claude”. Down 5 places since 2026-10-17, now #14. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “ai agent”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “chatgpt”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
