Biggest opportunity: Swap “blog” and “elementor” for “news magazine” and “elements”. “blog” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “news magazine” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “elementor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “elements” sits at #23 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 →4.3%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 4.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,266 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders 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 2 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| news magazine | #9 | #18 | 0 |

20 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 14 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “blog” and “elementor” for “news magazine” and “elements”. “blog” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “news magazine” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “elementor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “elements” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “magazine”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Directory rank
Ranked about #11,300 to #12,900, alongside the other plugins at 200+ 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.
Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Quero nesse momento agradecer o empenho, dedicação e boa vontade dos gestores da Themeansar, que não mediram esforços em atender a minha solicitação, tendo me surpreendido nessa atitude, pois carecemos muito de empresas e profissionais que valorizam o cliente como eu me senti valorizado, mesmo sendo uma compra não tão expressiva em valor, mas o que importou para eles no meu entendimento, é atender a expectativa do cliente, mesmo que demandou custos para eles, mas um cliente satisfeito é o que importou para eles.Gratidão eterna por essa visão e atividade realizada e se houver alguma dúvida ou dificuldade, tenho a certeza que essa equipe sempre estará de braços abertos para ajudar.Parabéns a todos.
