of downloads still active
At least 7K of 671.5K 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 5 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
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “cross linking”, “tooltips” and “definition” (#4, #5 and #6 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

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.

I really like it, an excellent tool for adding context.

This plugin works great. We uploaded a legal glossary to the CM Tooltip Glossary post type and, voila, tooltips customized for our client appear throughout almost 200 articles. Very happy client.

Great experience with both the plugin and the support team. They quickly fixed a bug and even added a customization option I needed. Very responsive and professional — highly recommended.

The contact was brigand and fast. Thanks for helping!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Mark Blackham1.6y ago
I’ve tried every glossary available and this one is by far the best. It may take a while to figure it all out but it’s worth the effort. The easiest way is to make a test page and then try out all the different features. You can also tailor it with your own CSS. I’ve had two problems, but the support staff fixed them up in less than two days.

We’ve been using CM Tooltip Glossary for several years now. We’ve built what I jokingly call the “World’s Largest Opinionated Agile and Scrum Reference Library”: see agilepainrelief.com glossary The plugin has been indispensable. It allows me to focus on write the entries and not the WordPress plumbing. On the rare occasions there have been problems, I reach out to their support and the problem gets solved. People complain about the free version and I think that’s unfair to the developer. The developer needs to run a business and they deliver good value for their annual cost.

Support is fantastic; I recommend this plugin to all users. Thank you

This plugin has so many options that you can for sure customize it the way you need it. Support is VERY active, for the plugins and the add-ons (the one which provides stats). I needed extra option and got it within 24h. Support sent a file to upload, such as I can use the extra option without waiting the next official release. Congrats for the good work 🙂
