Biggest opportunity: Add “custom color” and “color” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7 and #17 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 90 of 21K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,191 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 16 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 |

59 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 8 listed. 51 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “custom color” and “color” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7 and #17 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 “editor customization”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Bonjour, Pouvez-vous me confirmer ou non l’usage avec l’option multisite. Dans cette configuration, j’ai un plantage du site. D’avance merci

After some years spitting on Gutenberg, I convert slowly my sites to the new editor. Editor Custom Color Palette is a very handy plugin giving the opportunity to tune Gutenberg. I took a look at it because it manages color palette but my favorite setting is the ability to change width editor to reflect exactly what will be shown on front end.

Useful plugin adding functionalities that are clearly missing in Gutenberg editor. Easy to configure and working perfectly.
