Biggest opportunity: “classicpress”, “favicon” and “wordpress” 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 10 of 8.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 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

63/100

Maintenance 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 5.0.0, well behind 7.1.

Update activity

Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

Release cadence

    I installed the plugin in multisite, opened the setting page, in it put the 16×16 icon filename already uploaded on the mentioned path updated the settings tried on different browsers with cleared cache, no favicon displayed on any one of them. Then did the same for gif and png but no luck. So just a wastage of time.

    That’s a good idea to make such plugin but I’d like it to have visual interface to upload favicon (not to set folder and favicon name – it’s very uncomfortably).
