Alister

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #30,100 to #45,000, alongside the other plugins at 10+ 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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 10 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 20.

   It is a super easy to use plugin, I’ve got surprised with the capacity that is offered. I can easily build an e-commerce site and sell products, that’s a great innovation for our community. Nice job!

   I’ve been using the Alister WooCommerce plugin to import products from AliExpress for a few months now, and I’m really happy with it. It’s a very easy-to-use plugin that makes it a breeze to add products to my store. I especially like the fact that I can import products in bulk, which saves me a lot of time. This is a great plugin because it allows me to import products category-wise by putting category links even you don’t need to install any extension. Overall, I’m really happy with the Alister WooCommerce plugin. It’s a great tool for anyone who wants to import products from AliExpress. I would definitely recommend it to others.

   This can’t get any easier to use: copy&paste either the URL or the ID, it automatically starts to do its thing. If it can get what it needs, you are well on your way. If for some reason it cannot process the URL (like if the product isn’t available to be shipped to your location), it errors out. The message could be more verbose but that is really nitpicking. The AI is BRILLIANT. No more broken English or culturally incorrect wording. Instead you get a configurable number of options to us. Select one and it drops it in the description. Move down and verify the images are ok. Select what variations you want to process (including being able to change the variation label to something you want – NICE!!), then set your price multiplier (including the shipping if desired). Double check that things look ok, then either push to draft or publish. The only glitch I’ve come across – and it might not be a glitch but instead Ali-foolery, is that sometimes shipping comes up with a cost when the Ali says its free (better than the alternative) and randomly, the Ali price is WAAAAAAAAAAY off, like an $8 widget on Ali comes up as a $6000 item in Alister. This is random and repeatable on the same item so suspect something is lost in translation or Ali is playing weird. Just push to draft and fix the numbers. Oh, and if you don’t set a price, it puts it out of stock. Overall, I’m completely pleased with this plugin. Kudos!
