Biggest opportunity: “buddypress”, “csv” and “group” 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 4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 863 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds 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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.5.33, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| buddypress your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| csv your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| group your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| import your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| settings 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 #30,100 to #45,000, 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 21 Oct 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 just ran this today on latest versions of WP/BP and it works! Directions are a little spotty so for anyone needing to use it you have to do two things: 1. Extract the zip file, locate and open the bpgi.php file using Notepad++, and locate this on line 19: add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, ‘buddypress-groups-import_textdomain’ ); Change it to add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, ‘bpgi_textdomain’ ); 2. Open a text file and paste in this: ,Your Group Name, Your group description, public, yes, admins ,Your Group Name, Your group description, public, yes, admins ,Your Group Name, Your group description, public, yes, admins Make sure you don’t have any spaces at the bottom of the file. gl
