Biggest opportunity: Swap “shortcode” and “next previous” for “key navigation” and “navigation”. “shortcode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “key navigation” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “next previous” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “navigation” sits at #9 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 100 of 11.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “shortcode” and “next previous” for “key navigation” and “navigation”. “shortcode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “key navigation” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “next previous” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “navigation” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

It didn’t work with plugin such as Polylang, “too few argumensts…” etc kind of error display. I really hope you can address this problem. Thank you!

Hi All, I am using it on a gallery based blog where posts are in order according to the authors names. It works fine as expected. Especially when your requirement is loop based navigation. It picks the first one for next link when there is no post and the last one for previous link when you are on first post. I will improve it further with your feedback. But for now, its awesome when you are interested to fetch the posts from same taxonomy/category without having hit and try practice with other functions and plugins. You only need to place the required code in correct file. It works automatically with all post types and under all taxonomies. Thank You, Fahad
