Bento Box

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #17,400 to #18,100, alongside the other plugins at 80+ 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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 3 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 90.

   I’ve tested your plugin and it’s easy to use. I really like it. Do you plan to update it regularly? Also, I tried to add a button below an image and didn’t succeed. Is this a mistake on my part or is it not possible?

   Having the plugin create random layouts is amazingly fun. I have to say that I only tested it for 5 minutes or so, I did not test it for responsive views, and other detailed stuff to find bugs and weaknesses. If I find any, I will report back… Job well done, thanks. Update: It is responsive as well !!! 2nd Update: Ok, I found I thing I can complain about. In the Bento Cards we are very limited to add blocks into it. We are allowed blocks like image blocks, headings, paragraphs, and maybe one or more others. We should be allowed to insert any registered block that the site has. We are not allowed to even insert a Button block which is very frustrating. Yes, I can hyperlink the text, but using buttons, it will look and feel more professional – just my opinion… This topic was modified 1 year, 4 months ago by nick6352683.
