Biggest opportunity: “favorite” and “like” 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 5.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.4.25, well behind 7.1.

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 |

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ 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
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
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.

I originally posted this about 4 months ago, See below. This plug does not work and has never worked as advertised. This plugin should be deleted from the WordPress repository. When you have the settings set to display 5 avatars, as soon as the 6th person likes the post, the plugin stops functioning. An unclickable, unusable, worthless link appears that shows +1, but you cant click on it, it does nothing. WTH?? I have reached out to the Author using his website multiple times with no response. *********************** In the settings, I have the minimum number of avatars set to 5. When 6 or more people like a post, the avatars do not show up. Instead it shows NO AVATARS AT ALL, 6 People like this, and the +1 More below that. Why is that? This doesn’t make any sense. Why not show the first 5 avatars, and then give an option to view more avatars if the post has more than 5 likes? What’s the deal with the +1 More text anyways? Why not just show the first 5 avatars, and then a More button to see the additional Avatars of the people who liked it? In BuddyPress, it already shows how many people liked the post next to the Like button. I appreciate you working on this plugin and fixing the issues it was experiencing a few months back. I’m just struggling to make this plugin work for my site. In a perfect world, I would be able to specify the minimum and maximum number of avatars that show up. If a post has 8 likes, and I have the minimum set to 5, I don’t think people really care to see +3. People just want to see who liked the post. Most people aren’t going to know that they have to count how many avatars are currently being shown, then add whatever number is showing under the + More. Thanks again. This plugin has a lot of promise and its very unique. Thanks again. This topic was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by jcfromkc. This topic was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by jcfromkc.
