Biggest opportunity: “automatic”, “mobile” and “responsive” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 43.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.30, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| automatic your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| mobile your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| responsive your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| table your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tables your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Something has gone wrong with this and now the plugin doesn’t work. It removes tables by displaying none, adds red and blue styling and is giving error messages such as: /automatic-responsive-tables/js/script-template.js): failed to open stream: No such file or directory The authors website has disappeared as well so I would not use this plugin anymore. Which is a shame.

Very good
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ globaltradinguk9.0y ago
A simple plugin that does the job nicely. It can make all tables responsive below the screen width break-point, or you can add a class or ID to each TABLE element (in editor text view) and then specify just those classes in the plugin control panel. Make sure to tick the ‘add styling’ option.

Omg, thank you so much. I thought I would have to re-code the whole table and all I had to do was activating the plugin. You rock!!!

Combine this plugin with the Tablepress plugin and your tables will look great on all devices

Thanks for making this plugin. It was just what I was looking for.

Just tested this with a Donation Confirmation Receipt from our Give plugin and it works perfectly without having to configure anything. I don’t know what it would do with really complex tables, but for the basics this does the job. Nice work!
