Biggest opportunity: “cpt”, “custom fields” and “custom post types” 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 3K of 130.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 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.

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 |

Nice Plugin, easy to use
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ matsco2.8y ago
Plug-in con documentazione estremamente scarna, neppure testato con le ultime versioni di WP. I video tutorial sono molto brevi e risalenti alla vers. 3.0 – Acquisto con Pay Pall (non donazione) sbagliato.

This plugin so far has been robust and works well. It seems to be regularly updated and doesn’t conflict with other plugins. Ideally it would have the POST SWITCHER functionality built in which would reduce the amount of plugins required. However, this version is free, so I cannot complain. Thanks for a great plugin.

I have to give my biggest thanks to developers – the plugin is really amazing and offers all options I need – post types, taxonomies and filed options on one place. Good work!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ salenish3.3y ago
Installed this plugin to try it out as it looked simple to use and had most of the things I needed for my custom site development with multiple custom categories and post types. The plugin did well on everything written on the box that was relevant for me which I was really pleased with. I got the premium license to unlock all the functionality. This came with a few support tickets included in the package at no extra cost. I did not expect much when I submitted my support query to ask about a custom feature I was looking to set up. To my surprise, the support team was rapid and detailed, with the team understanding instantly what I needed and helping me sort it out. Liked the plugin. Loved the support. Keep up the good work! Recommended to anyone looking for custom types and taxonomies.

Wanted to be able to create one extra post type for my site, that didn’t impose ad popups for the developer products, and that was not overly complicated. This plugin fit the bill perfectly. It is very easy to set up and start using, while including all the needed attributes for creating a post or page. Also includes ability for taxonomies and parent functions. Once set up, it may take a bit of time of experimenting with creating taxonomies and post to get the urls and title to read as you would prefer, but a definite win!
