Biggest opportunity: Add “export plugin”, “content types” and “attachment” to your wp.org tags. You rank #16, #23 and #24 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 2 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 40K of 442.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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 1 release 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 “export plugin”, “content types” and “attachment” to your wp.org tags. You rank #16, #23 and #24 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 2 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “export”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

This plugin adds only a small, almost invisible option to the native WordPress export, but it solves ALL the problems I had with the WordPress solution.This fantastic addition should be built into WordPress.A huge thank you to the developer!
