Biggest opportunity: “bbpress”, “content” and “replies” 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 200 of 16.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| bbpress your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| content your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| replies your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| report your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

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 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.

Works really well, but I am missing the option to choose to get email notifications and/or dashbord notifications when content has been reported.

Lots of great things to say about this plugin. It provides a feature that I believe should be part of the BBPress core. The author has done a great job of making this plugin integrate fully so that it doesn’t feel like it was “bolted on”. I like that the REPORT link was -not- added to the Favorite| Subscribe links and is in the somewhat subdued admin strip. You want it to be available, but not in the user’s face in every post. The back end is elegant, simple and seamless. No ads, no gimmicks. If I has a shortcoming it’s in the lack of email notifications for blogs that are not run by full time admins or for those for whom the forum is but one small part of their WP site. Email notification as an option plus a notification on the main admin dashboard would make this absolutely a perfect plugin. I’m going to rate it 4.9 stars.

Bummer we can’t rate 6 stars! Plugins works great, a real must have! Even at your back-end all reported content has a red background-color, visually this makes a huge difference. Thanks
