Biggest opportunity: Swap “management” for “salah”. “management” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “salah” sits at #15 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 80 of 74.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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

63/100

Maintenance 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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, well behind 6.8.

Directory rank

Ranked about #17,400 to #18,100, alongside the other plugins at 80+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

Update activity

Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

Estimated active installs

The public count shows “80+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

tracked estimate
80–90 ≈90

Crossed into this band 10 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 90.

    Still says in development and last update was in 2013…. designer must have given up because they don’t reply to anything.

    To get this to work well, I went back to 3.5.2. For some weird reason it wasn’t functioning properly, so I worked on the code and now it works well. At the bottom of the cp-loader.php file, this is what my code reads: /** * Returns the query string of CollabPress values * e.g. task=3&task-list=4 */ function cp_frontend_querystrings() { // grab any query strings that exist if (isset($_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’])) { $cp_all_querystrings = ( $_SERVER[“QUERY_STRING”] ) ? $_SERVER[“QUERY_STRING”] : ”; $cp_querystrings = explode( ‘&’, $cp_all_querystrings ); } else { $vars = $_GET; } //set pattern to strip out $pattern = “/^cp|project|task-list|task|view|activity_page/”; $cp_qs_add = ”; foreach ( $cp_querystrings as $cp_querystring ) { if ( ! preg_match( $pattern, $cp_querystring ) ) { $cp_qs_add .= $cp_querystring .’&’; } } if ( $cp_qs_add != ‘&’ ) : return $cp_qs_add; endif; }

    There’s some basic functionality there that makes it promising. But it is not under active development and broken in some ways (can’t delete files?). It also looks terrible out of the box (without customization). With some work this could be a very nice plugin to use, but it is not there yet…

    Attempted to utilize collabpress in 2010, found it to be unworkable missing key features of project management. Thought I might reexamine the plugin (June 2013) however still missing key features and the user interface is rather clunky. As an example: No Milestones Parent ToDo lists show no easily identifiable master due-date for child-tasks.
