Biggest opportunity: One page off on “orthodox”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.6.23, well behind 7.1.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| lectionary your tag | #2 | #2 | 0 |
| gospel your tag | #6 | #7 | 0 |
| daily bible readings | #9 | #6 | down 1 |
| orthodox your tag | #12 | #9 | 0 |
| bible readings | #18 | #16 | down 1 |
| bible your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| scripture your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “orthodox”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “bible” and “scripture” 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.

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

Very Great plugin, Thanks
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ antiochian8.3y ago
This is a wonderful offering in a market that doesn’t offer much in English for the Orthodox Christian faithful! This is digital evangelism at it’s finest. The plugin was very easy to install and use. The output borrows from our site CSS and has no branding, links or anything to bloat it. It’s a generous plugin! 5 stars.
