Biggest opportunity: Add “convert post” and “format” to your wp.org tags. You rank #14 and #23 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 2 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 70 of 10K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,774 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| bulk convert your tag | #11 | #21 | down 3 |
| convert post | #14 | #21 | down 1 |
| post format | #19 | #23 | down 5 |
| format | #23 | #19 | down 4 |
| bulk posts creation | #24 | #23 | — |
| post formats your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “convert post” and “format” to your wp.org tags. You rank #14 and #23 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 2 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “bulk convert”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

It works! Although: – Not for my custom post types created with ACF – I had to adjust “Posts to process per page reload” and click “Convert” a few items to get all my 350 posts converted – The result message doesn’t seem reliable (showing “127 posts converted” repeatedly when converting a category and its parent category) – A calculation of the conversions to be made before clicking “Convert” would be very nice

I had imported 750 posts from a csv that I needed to change from standard to the quote post format. Since they were all in one category, I was able to very quickly convert them to the quote format without having to manually open and change every single post. Yay!
