Biggest opportunity: Swap “companion”, “customizer” and “sections” for “spa”, “thai” and “homepage”. “companion” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spa” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “customizer” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “thai” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sections” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “homepage” sits at #17 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 30K of 6.2M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 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 29 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| clever | #1 | #7 | 0 |
| homepage setup your tag | #3 | #20 | 0 |

15 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 9 listed. 6 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “companion”, “customizer” and “sections” for “spa”, “thai” and “homepage”. “companion” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spa” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “customizer” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “thai” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sections” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “homepage” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

It is very difficult to get a clear and unequivocal answer from the support. Moreover, I think it’s a pity that the slightest modification of the header.php is systematically overwritten when CleverFox is updated and that despite the fact of having a child theme, it doesn’t allow to keep the modifications of this file during updates. The only solution offered by the support is to never update CleverFox… too bad because updates are supposed to improve this pluging… I am very disappointed that no effective and lasting solution is offered.

This support is really responsive, I do not regret my purchase of a premium theme.

On any site or Multisite that has ever had one of the Nayra Themes installed shows this message on the top of EVERY Admin page. “The Clever Fox plugin adds sections functionality to the Startkit theme and Others Nayra”s Themes” No matter how many times you click the “X” to dismiss this message, it still shows! I saw in multiple threads and google searches where they claim that they will fix this ERROR, it has been OVER 3 months since I notified them after purchasing a PRO license. They do NOT seem very eager to help their PRO customers or the ones that they are trying to get as customers help with this very annoying issue! Please, I am begging you, and so are many others to fix this! I even tried deleting every theme and the plugin. Somehow the message is still there! PLEASE FIX THE PLUGIN THAT YOU PROVIDE! You might actually get more customers if you do! I honestly LOVE your themes, I want to try and get others to go PRO, but if you can not support your own products, that is a very bad showing to customers and potential customers. *This has been updated! I was in a hurry and selected the wrong site with the message to copy and paste. It might be due to the fact that I am working on so many sites all at the same time.
