Biggest opportunity: “blog”, “copy” and “duplicate” 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 100 of 39K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.9.40, 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 |

I was a happy user of this plugin for many years. I was creating a test site of my shop, tested some things, deleted the site and when a new need arose, I copied a fresh version of my shop to test things again. What I didn’t know was that this plugin duplicates database tables and leaves them after deleting the blog. In result, db grows, slows down and is prone to errors. It’s hard to clean up after few years. This and the fact that this plugin was not updated since few years shows that Blog Copier shouldn’t be installed under any circumstances! It works even now (hence 2 stars) but it’s not worth the price. This topic was modified 9 years ago by michaldybczak.

You are a life saver. I tried using the plugin that you originally derived this from, and it was having issues. But this seems to have saved the say! YES Thanks Doug

This is an excellent plugin. I had only used the one by Ron Rennick before, but this one works just as well and appears to be actively maintained. Thanks for releasing this for us 🙂
