Biggest opportunity: “classicpress”, “cloud” and “tag cloud” 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 300 of 10.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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 5.0.0, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| classicpress your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| cloud your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tag cloud your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tags your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wordpress 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.

Directory rank
Ranked about #10,100 to #11,100, alongside the other plugins at 300+ 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 1 Nov 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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

5 stars for doing what it says it will do. What I am looking for in addition is: – ability to include custom taxonomies – placement in any page or post As a novice with WordPress, maybe there is a way to get those goals that I don’t know about.

I love Software which intelligently uses already available resources – in this case, the WordPress Tag-Cloud function, with all the options provided by the function but not settable in the standard widget. Sure there are other tag cloud plugins out there, but in comparison to this one they are sure going to bloat your frontend code! A great boon for MultiSite users is that this plugin offers global settings in the network admin area. Then each site can either opt to use those, or set its own. Now that’s really sweet! Finally, the support from Ian, the author, has been superb – fixes done within hours even at the weekend! For my part I pronounce the new version “bug free” and was glad to help polish a great product. Thanks Ian!

Just updated to the newest wordpress this morning and my color tag plugin doesn’t work anymore. Found this one and it does what it says. Allows you to show all your tags or choose which ones to not show. See at [Link redacted]
