Biggest opportunity: Swap “hide author” for “remover”. “hide author” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “remover” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
Install conversion
How it's measured →15%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 6.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 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.

Plugin looks exactly on posts as the screenshots. Looked really promising. You add plugin easily, then on a published post I selected Hide Date, but the date doesn’t go away anywhere, not on the post itself or in the category/blog page. Bizarre. Maybe it’s a theme compatibility issue, where there’s a million WP themes but the plugin doesn’t work for random ones or something.
