Dark Mode Toggle Block

Both reviewers are happy, calling it light, easy to set up and good-looking, with one asking for clearer docs on how it works.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #11,300 to #12,900, alongside the other plugins at 200+ 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 21 Oct 2026.

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 19 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   This is absolutely perfect for what I needed! Nice light plugin, slider looks neat with good customisation options, and ensured I could get my site displaying exactly as I want it in dark mode. I didn’t find it clear from the plugin description how the plugin works, so it might be useful to add a direct link to the readme file where you can find that information github[dot]com/richtabot/dark-mode-toggle-block/blob/main/README.md This topic was modified 1 year, 3 months ago by Steven Stern (sterndata).

   I have tried many dark mode toggle plugins, this is one of the best and easiest plugin to work with. Just install it and add the block where ever you want. As simple as that. Thank you.
