Biggest opportunity: “add category”, “add category to wordpress page” and “assign category” 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 10K of 74.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,784 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| add category your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| add category to wordpress page your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| assign category your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| category in page your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page archive your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Thank you very much for this plagin! But i was not able to assign it correctly. I ve got a category(page) called freebooks, but the content of the page won’t appear in that page. Could you guys help me about this? ‘freebooks’ => ‘freeboks’. I do not get this slug thing. Thank you!

Big thanks to Sandeep, The plugin works well. I just want to ask what happens to URL of pages from SEO perspective. I have pages domain.com/products/itemType1_PageA domain.com/products/itemType1_PageB domain.com/products/itemType2_PageC domain.com/products/itemType2_PageD Now when I create category itemType1 new URL is created: domain.com/category/itemType1 Where itemType1_PageA and itemType1_PageB are listed. My question is will the new URL interfere with existing links or not?

Please do fix. This plugin crash with Yoast SEO. When I created new page, the Category option did appear but the categories under it didn’t showing up. And there is an error sentence “An error occurred loading the Yoast SEO primary taxonomy picker.” This topic was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by Mr. Gedanggoreng.
