Biggest opportunity: Swap “cms” for “nextpage”. “cms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “nextpage” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 90 of 9.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,511 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other SEO 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| nextpage | #24 | #14 | — |
| cms your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| indexes your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| sitemap your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| table of contents your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| toc your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “cms” for “nextpage”. “cms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “nextpage” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “90+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 7 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 100.

It’s a pity but it doesn’t work with WP 6.8.1 version 🙁

This plugin is the only one I could find that supports page-breaks. It works simple and can be adjusted to my wishes. It just makes an index op the pages and can be inserted automatically or by a short code. The only thing is, it is not updated in several years, but it still works fine and, I hope, it does for years to come.

This was on my wish list for quite some time, I just procrastinate! This is exactly what I have been looking for over the last year or so. Sometimes plugin names don’t show up in searches if you don’t get the exact wording, but very glad I found it now! A little personalization and it is absolutely perfect.

The options are interesting, but it still lacks some features for the 5 stars! Eg: [extoc headers = 1,2,3 subheaders = 1-2,2-1]. Would show only the details of the 2nd paragraph of 1st h1 and 1st h2 of 2nd h1. h1 –h2 (with h3, but hidden) –h2 —-h3 —-h3 —-h3 –h2 (with h3, but hidden) h1 –h2 —-h3 —-h3 —-h3 –h2 (with h3, but hidden) –h2 (with h3, but hidden) … Thank you for this work!

Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Gintas13.2y ago
This is what i was looking for in last days. Please add a “pagination” or “paginate” keywords to let other users to find it more easily. This plugin should be useful if you decide to make some wikis on pages. Thank You and keep it updated!
