Biggest opportunity: Swap “cleanup”, “disable” and “clean up” for “global”, “right click disable” and “styles”. “cleanup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “global” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “disable” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “right click disable” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “clean up” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “styles” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →12%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 4.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “cleanup”, “disable” and “clean up” for “global”, “right click disable” and “styles”. “cleanup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “global” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “disable” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “right click disable” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “clean up” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “styles” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “deactivate”. Down 7 places since 2026-10-09, now #24. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “500+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 6 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 600.
At the current install trend, crossing 600+ in roughly 150 days.

Very simple and it works. Activate the plugin and the nonsensical unwanted styles are gone. What more can I say except thank you.

I’m the author, but also a user of my own plugin. It does its job, so it deserves 5 stars.
