Biggest opportunity: “media library”, “network media” and “shared media” 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 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| mana | #3 | #7 | 0 |
| central media your tag | #5 | #15 | — |
| media library your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| multisite your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| network media your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shared media your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “media library”, “network media” and “shared media” 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.
- Already on top for “mana”. #3 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ John Titor4mo ago
After the plugin activation, my admin pages show the following error notice: “The plugin generated 1015 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you noticed headers already sent messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing the plugin.” Aside from that, I am getting missing images in many places. I tried to investigate the code and noticed that the plugin is a poorly made fork from GitHub from HumanMade\SharedMedia. What is the point of copying already available free plugin and releasing it in WP repository?
