Biggest opportunity: Swap “facebook” and “instagram” for “aggregate” and “flickr”. “facebook” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “aggregate” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “instagram” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “flickr” sits at #18 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 →4.5%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 44.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,277 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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 2 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.

I had the free version showing Facebook posts with graphics and links on my WordPress in a few minutes. Just what I was looking for.

The description says it includes LinkedIn, but it doesn’t, not unless you pay. It was the only one I wanted! Shame.

Useful plugin and easy to use. Perfect for anyone who is running a website that needs to showcase their social network posts/feeds. The support is fantastic too! Answers any query that you have, esp. now that social networks are becoming strict and changes policies very often.
