Biggest opportunity: Add “idea collector” to your wp.org tags. You rank #13 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 7.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.
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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.39, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| idea collector | #13 | #13 | down 1 |
| feature request your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| idea suggestion your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| suggestion system 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). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “idea collector” to your wp.org tags. You rank #13 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed it's a slot worth spending.

I tried this plugin with the latest verison of WordPress (currently version 4.9.4) and the results were disappointing. On submitting a trial request, unwanted code is returned across the user screen. Also, on requesting to read more, I find that the remaining text does not sit properly within the page design for theme Twenty-Fourteen. If anyone could suggest an alternative up-to-date free plugin that is ready to run with the above theme and version of WordPress, I would be most grateful.

It’s a good plugin & good idea. But, Revise, Too much bug ! Translation impossible and not taken into account. Voting system, a review. No need to block, number of votes.

The description of the plugin is exactly what I would like. I installed the plugin on a test site and did my best to figure out how to get it working. I was able to create groups and assign a certain number of votes in those groups, and all the other functionality in the back end interfaces appears to be there. Unfortunately it just does not work at all. I cannot vote on anything and keep getting the message that I have no more votes in this category even though I have not voted even once. I suspect maybe there needs to be a way to add users to specific groups but I cannot see how to do that. I would add a support request but there are already numerous people with the same error and none of them have gotten any response so unfortunately I must conclude this plugin is “Completely broken and unsupported”. I think there is a great gap which this plugin would fill perfectly if it worked. I would even be happy to contribute. Unfortunately, I have no other options but to build something custom.

Many parameters aren’t pulling through (tested on WP 4.4.5 and 4.6.1) and thus things like putting the submissions into a pending state don’t work and just appear live without approval or disabling the upload option doesn’t work. If those sort of things worked out the box, this plugin would be epic.

Should be more customizable on lay out and e-mailing but it works perfectly ! Very good job ! Thank you !

I like the look of this plugin but there are some bugs that need attention: 1. Format problem: http://screencast.com/t/LSKaIjrI 2. Can’t get rid of this message: http://screencast.com/t/Bzkan4PiAs The backend control panel for this plugin is also quote sparse. Need more granular controls. Could use these features, for example: A) Ability to hide the “status of features” dropdown menu B) Ability to set one group per page (hide “select group” dropdown menu). Looking forward to the next update.
