Biggest opportunity: Swap “ecommerce” and “woocommerce” for “wish list” and “remove products”. “ecommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wish list” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “remove products” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 9.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,139 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 6 releases 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| discontinued products your tag | #1 | #2 | 0 |
| discontinued your tag | #1 | #3 | up 1 |
| wish list | #23 | #23 | 0 |
| remove products | #24 | #24 | 0 |
| ecommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it

Hi there brilliant minds!It is a great plugin it does well with its functionality, BUT it’s blocking Woocommerce to export and import products.If anyone is having the same experience with the latest WC version please comment here.The way to get around this issue is to disable the plugin temporarily, export and import, and then activate it again. Not a real Fan of doing this but that is for now. Until some great mind takes a pick on the code and can fix it for us? I would guess it might have deprecated code and since it has not been updated for so long it is having compatibility issues with the latest Woocommerce version.That’s all.You all have a wonderful day and cheers smile and turn your positive mind God Bless you! 😉 This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by krixtva.

Plugin does what its meant to do but also stops any search results appearing. Maybe a compatability issue with the more recent versions of WordPress. This topic was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by buzzinbilly.

Works as advertised. It allows marking products as discontinued to keep them in your system without having to trash them or set the inventory to zero or use another workaround that just isn’t as accurate. You can create global settings and tailor settings to each individual product. My only suggestion would be to set a direct link to the plugin settings from the plugins page or to add this information to an FAQ to make it easier to find for first-time users. I found them eventually where you would expect, in Woocommerce > Settings > Products.

It keeps it in ur category (like old products) in default denies it from genelor shop page list and search u can choose to change that for each product checked as discontinued very helpful intuitive comfortable i use it especially for black list products u have some coffee from me when the shops earns something :]

I did a bunch of testing and it works so far. Need to see how it works on a site with 1000s of discontinued products.
