of downloads still active
At least 300 of 14.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.3.34, well behind 7.1.

How it's tracked →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.

1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

Works perfect. Makes the styles visible in the backend and lets the client edit the content easily without working with shortcodes. Thumbs up!

Just add some buttons on the editor, and a great view of your table you just have to write into it. It’s simple, but great ! Really just what i want. Continue 🙂

It helps a lot typing a new post/page viewing the same styling that is going to take. And very easy to use. Thanks!

Works as it should. Thanks! One small issue: as I understood plugin takes background color from “body” class but in my case (Vantage theme from SiteOrigin) post background color is defined by another selector (#main). As result I have gray background color in editor instead of light gray. What can I do to make plugin to take background color from “right” css selector?
