How it's measured →2.7%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 3.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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 2 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.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

Worked for day. Doesn’t consistently show up. Says incorrect instructions on installation. This is just all around bad to be honest.

Works and does what it promises. Would be nice to use Gutenberg formating. Keep up the good work!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ seaware2.2y ago
I wanted to show all posts by a particular author. The instructions said to not use ‘@’ inside the medium handle field, but I discovered ‘@’ was required. For example “justin_98034” didn’t work, but “@justin_98034” was ok. The plugin also couldn’t find the feature image of the medium article, so it used a fallback image instead. Finally, the biggest problem for me was that the plugin couldn’t display any of the article’s body text, not even a few lines. Instead it only showed the titles. Unfortunately I’ve deactivated this plugin for now but plan to come back when it’s more mature.
