Biggest opportunity: “comments”, “points” and “reply” 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 20 of 64.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,781 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.

High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 14+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.4.2, well behind 7.1.

Directory rank

Ranked about #25,400 to #28,300, alongside the other plugins at 20+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

Update activity

Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.

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

No release in a year

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Crossed into this band 21 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 30.

    The component works for the most part, but does not respond when a user tries to load any of the incorporated pages such as the list of the ranks, the things you can “buy” with your points, etc. It all loads into a 404 error page. If these issues are resolved, then this deserves a 5 star rating!

    FR : Nous avons téléchargez le plugin, et nous le voyons pas dans la barre d’admin WordPress, il ai inexistant. Nous avons suivi scrupuleusement les consignes d’installation. Je ne vois pas pourquoi ce plugin est encore en service. Sa ne sert à rien ! Pourtant cela pourrais être super d’avoir un plugin comme ça ! EN : We download the plugin, and we see no bar in the WordPress admin, it did not exist. We carefully followed the installation instructions. I do not see why this plugin is still in service. Its no use! Yet it could be great to have a plugin like that!
