Biggest opportunity: “discord”, “friends” and “talk” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 30 of 3.5K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,322 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| hang out your tag | #10 | #18 | down 2 |
| discord server members | #14 | #20 | — |
| discord your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| friends your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| talk your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| video chat your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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

Everything works fine with this plugin, it connected to the discord and handle the roles perfectly..
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Pierre3.9y ago
I was looking for a way to use Discord as part of my courses, for the community features. I wanted to keep the control of what my students from different courses can see in my Discord server. It’s possible to do it manually, but you have hundreds of students…This plugin does a perfect job mapping the role you create in your server (like tags) and your courses in LearnDash… Students in course A can only see what I want them to see in my Discord server. And Students from course B see different parts. And when you want, they all can see common parts of your Discord.Amazing plugin !PS: Ravi is very helpful to set up the plugin correctly !

Ravi has been super helpful with everything. And the plugin works perfectly. We solved the manual labor of adding every customer to the server. Thanks!

I have been recently testing this plugin inside my paid online Learndash course. I received assistance from Ravi and the team when setting up the plugin for the first time. It was great to know the team is actively working on fixing and updating this plugin. This ensured the trust I needed to keep this plugin active for the long-term! The plugin does exactly what it should! You can allow students to join your private discord community by the click of a button. It integrates well with WordPress and learndash by giving you the ability to insert a short code on any page. I look forward to future updates and features to make this my go to community plugin for my learndash courses!
