Biggest opportunity: Add “display”, “types” and “grid post” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7, #9 and #10 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 8K of 150.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,319 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media 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 15 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.

What to do about it
- Add “display”, “types” and “grid post” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7, #9 and #10 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “post grid”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “8K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 16 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 8K.
At the current install trend, crossing 9K+ in roughly 202 days.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ modelaid11mo ago
The functionality is very stable and excellent.However, I’d like to see the shortcodes I’ve created available in a list format, in addition to the combo box selection method. Furthermore, it would be incredibly convenient if it were possible to duplicate and then edit existing shortcodes.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ saksaksak12mo ago
It is great that it supports Custom Post Types. The layout options are limited. When I chose grid, it seemed to show limited responsiveness when screen size was brought to mobile size. It only made the screen smaller to fit the screen but for example, it did not change the way the grid is displayed (like one post per row etc). In any case, this is a good plugin and maybe in future I shall use it if it is developed further. This topic was modified 8 months, 1 week ago by saksaksak.

I use it on my websites and it works very well.Just has a small issue at the time of creating a new shortcode, which it over-write the current shortcode. so I after creating a shortcode, instead of pressing the button to create a new shortcode, you need to open shortcode page in a new tab. Except this small issue, its a very useful plugin

Works perfectly and so easy to use! Thank you!

Should leave the tag as Input instead of the selected taxonomy term

Easy, complete, what else ?
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ zencypher1.9y ago
This very simple plugin lets you add lists of posts to any post (or any widget area, but that was not my use case) with a simple, easy to use UI. It allowed me to select the exact post type, taxonomy query, sorting criteria I needed without a sweat. It even offers some really convenient layouts out of the box. What more could I ask for? Thumbs up guys, keep up with the excellent work!
