Biggest opportunity: Swap “media library”, “csv import” and “csv export” for “import export”, “export import” and “csv import export”. “media library” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “import export” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “csv import” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “export import” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “csv export” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “csv import export” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →6.1%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 16.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 864 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.
This plugin shipped 17 releases 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “media library”, “csv import” and “csv export” for “import export”, “export import” and “csv import export”. “media library” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “import export” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “csv import” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “export import” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “csv export” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “csv import export” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “csv export”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

This plugin is just great, simple and works every time. The support is very responsive and Maira is really friendly. The free version is fully functional and is enough for most use cases. Highly recommended.
