Biggest opportunity: Swap “import” for “xlsx”. “import” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “xlsx” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 38.3K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 864 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.
This plugin shipped 7 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “import” for “xlsx”. “import” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “xlsx” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “html”. Down 6 places since 2026-09-18, now #20. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “csv”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “synchronize”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Live data pulled from your file at set intervals and displayed as a table. Yes! This is what I had been looking for and found it with this plugin. CSV file to HTML table format. Contacted developer with a few requests and they were added within the week. What?! Yes. Friendly, responsive and clear customer service. Ended up with everything I had been looking for. File changes, table changes. Perfect!

thanks for this great plugin. I hope my XLSX to CSV conversion works again soon 🙂
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ yeeeeeeeeeah2.4y ago
My website contains some dynamic content in the form of json/csv files which are routinely fetched and updated from a separate backend server. This plugin provides the perfect means of displaying this content on pages, allowing a wide range of sorting and formatting options which can be specified within shortcode. I’ve tried many other plugins; in many circumstances they either only handle static data, or lock displaying dynamic content behind a paywall. With this plugin, the latest data can be loaded any time a page is refreshed. I wanted to make an account here just to say THANK YOU!!

You use it as an one-liner code and it does it lot of magic in the background! the simplicity is amazing! at the same time the plugins does not annoy the admin with upselling or cross-selling promotions. hopefully it gets kept maintained well. thank you

Free plugin that offers sticky and fixed headers only available in premium versions of other plugins. Developer extremely responsive and tolerant of novices, particularly those with very limited CSS and HTML knowledge! This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by pfrguide.

Great tool to use with minimalistic design, easy to use and extremely helpful (and don’t forget fast to respond) developer! One critique would be the documentation could be more in depth, but you get the point pretty quickly. Can’t recommend enough!
