Biggest opportunity: “calculated fields”, “evaluation” and “shortcodes” 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.

How it's measured →4.3%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 4.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,786 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| calculated fields your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| evaluation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shortcodes your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Used this for a few years now and was just perfect for a few situations where I could do calculations to variables within headlines, text and other drag and drop elements. I could pull in dynamic woo product prices and calculate it with another variable fees within custom store pages. Non computer person could just update the woo product base price and everything would display correctly everywhere. Starting having a few issues in the last year, think about the same time I upgraded to php8. Issue was it was dropping the last digit in the decimals on rounding if it ended in 0 regardless of the dec= attribute setting. ie) 3.99 displays fine but 3.90 would come out as 3.9. I came up with a fix for it though to force the second decimal. Will post it in the support discussion.

This plugin kills the normal look in the Storefront theme + WooCommerce. Replacing “<?” with “<?php” evalmath.class.php solved the problem. This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by pescianschi. This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by pescianschi.

This plugin does what it says. It enables you to calculate numeric values generated by shortcodes or numbers within the site. Support is fantastic. When there was a problem with hidden characters the developer pushed an upgrade out solving the problem in less than a day!
