Biggest opportunity: Swap “conversion” for “shopp”. “conversion” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “shopp” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active

At least 90 of 17.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,143 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.3.2, well behind 6.8.

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
shopp	#11	#6	0
conversion your tag	Not in the top 24
currency your tag	Not in the top 24
ecommerce your tag	Not in the top 24
money your tag	Not in the top 24
shop your tag	Not in the top 24

5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

What to do about it

Swap “conversion” for “shopp”. “conversion” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “shopp” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Plugin are working. Good functional. Nice code. Unfortunately, I need the different style of output for my site widget. So, trying to making the patch. Thanks to the developers! Good job!

I hate widgets. This is exactly what I was looking for.

For me, what is important about this plugin is that it allows me to simply display exchange rates using shortcodes, so that I can wrap my CSS and my verbiage around it. I would like to be able to display the “TO” currency without its 3-character symbol so that I could simply insert it into a sentence, but that doesn’t detract from this plugin at all.

A nice solution to quickly add a currency converter to any eCommerce website. It has widgets and shortcodes for easy implementation and there are multiple forex data sources to choose from. Results are cached so it does not cause burden on your server.
