Biggest opportunity: “autoblog”, “csv 2 post” and “csv import” 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 10 of 44.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 867 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

- Long abandoned. No update in 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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.

I fixed a few basic bugs to get it working, but then there were more bugs so I gave up. But maybe there’s not many more bugs to fix? Still it’s pretty complex.

Sadly this plugin crashed when activated on my test WP installation, which has a few plugins installed but otherwise is pretty clean right now. Sad because the functionality looks very impressive and clearly a lot of effort has gone into development. However I just don’t have time to investigate it further. Really this merits only 1 star, but I’ll give 2 for effort. Here’s the error message (which suggests a basic SQL syntax error – surely not?): WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 for query ALTER TABLE wp_c2pprojects CHANGE COLUMN datatreatment datatreatment VARCHAR(50 made by require_once('I:\php\wordpress\wp-admin\admin.php'), do_action('admin_init'), call_user_func_array, CSV2POST->add_adminpage_actions, CSV2POST->projectstable_add_status_column, dbDelta

the only pain in this pluging is the very slow learning curve. I’m thinking of providing the community with a ‘get started in 5 minutes’ tutorial as it is not that difficult at all, if you have time and enough ‘pain’ to get it working for you

Don’t give up on this one it’s worth the investment to learn how it works. While it may have too many feature and the flow is a bit funky it’s a very powerful plug. For the price you can’t beat it! (tongue deep in cheek) I had a lot of questions and these guys answered them all.

Dear all, I love to use csv2post plugin, but since there is a plugin that updates 8.0.0 makes me difficult to import data csv. Anyone can help? Thanks in advance & b’regards, chyciex

Hello! I use the plugin Easy CSV importer, but not used this plugin yet. I read the description of the plugin and I think that it is also the powerful CSV importer like the plugin Easy CSV importer. I think that I will not be disappointed, because Ryan is the professional programmer and he knows his work.

There is clearly a LOT of work gone into this plugin… but the time needed to figure it out is too much… already I’ve spent hours and I ended up deleting it. Simplifying it and making more intuitive would go a long way in making more user-friendly because at the moment its way too complicated.
