Biggest opportunity: Swap “custom post types” and “page order” for “page views” and “view”. “custom post types” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “page views” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “page order” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “view” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.8%
of downloads still active
At least 50K of 1.8M 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 13 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “custom post types” and “page order” for “page views” and “view”. “custom post types” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “page views” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “page order” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “view” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “drag and drop”. Down 7 places since 2026-09-17, now #9. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- Slipping on “page order”. Down 9 places since 2026-09-19, now #13. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.

I have used this plugin for years. Its very basic which is its strength. Instantly you get an expandable overview of your entire site and it really helps you plan your site architecture and canonical heirarchy from inside the dashboard.

Have used this for many many years, can’t do without it. There are other things out there with folders and such, but I love the simplicity of it and being able to see all my pages, posts and! products in the Dashboard. Get anywhere with 1 click. Clever little plug-in. Thank you!

Eenvoudige plugin. Op zich redelijk goed. Geeft goeie ingeklapte lijst van alle items. Maar je kunt ze niet sorteren. Ook geen paginatie. De zoekfunctie werkte bij mij niet goed.
