Biggest opportunity: “custom field”, “snippet” and “theme” 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 30 of 5.7K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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
63/100Maintenance 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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.9.40, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| custom field your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| snippet your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| theme your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

UPDATE: (VERSION 3.3) The bug is now fixed. This plugin is just awesome. highly recommended. 5 stars! OLD REVIEW I was very happy at first with this plugin as it proved to be very useful. After installing this plugin and other plugin I realized that my “Add Media” button has stopped working in the post/page editing area. I googled the problem just to find a plenty of possible causes. I then decided to check if one of my recently activated plugins might be the cause of the error, so I have de-activated all my plugins and started to activate them one by one and check for the existence of the problem, just to come out with the sad conclusion that this plugin -alone- is the source of the problem. I wish if the plugin’s author could check his code and fix the problem as I was really happy with it. I gave it temporarily 3 stars to give it a chance to get fixed, and then it surly deserve 5 stars, or otherwise, I think it should take only 1 star.
