Biggest opportunity: “elementor”, “file” and “file list” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →8.6%
of downloads still active
At least 5K of 58.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,264 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders 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 4 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.

Together with FileBird, FileBird Document Library does a great job of displaying lists of documents on the front-end of the website.The Pro version can display files in a folder structure.Support is excellent with Ninja Team tracking down a plugin conflict and fixing the issue the same day for me.Keep up the good work!

This plugin is perfect for categorizing and displaying media files on the frontend. I needed the site to look more like a dashboard for my client to find various files and download, rather than just downloading them from the WordPress media file library. The lite version alone is super awesome for organizing the library, but the additional functionality I got from the Pro version was just perfect. Everything was easy to learn how to do, and the site was up in no time. The Ninja Team is quick to respond, even when I had a ton of questions. They are very professional, and I am impressed with their customer service. I would definitely purchase this plugin again for future clients projects. I think the price point is fair, and glad I do not have to be locked into another subscription service. All of these reasons are why I highly recommend this plugin, and have no regrets in doing business with the Ninja Team. Thank you guys!

Отличный плагин для библиотеки документов. Лучший из всех подобных плагинов. Очень простой, никаких сложностей не вызывает при использовании. Практически все настройки можно сделать через CSS. Команда техподдержки работает отлично и все вопросы решает очень быстро. Спасибо команде техподдержки и удачи.

What else to say but “works like a charm”?
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Atomic Coffee Media2.9y ago
I think this is one of the best document library plugins out there. However, there could be some improvements It’ great that you can drag and order files in FileBird. Why isn’t one of the ordering options to be the sort order in filebird? Would be great to have fine tune control of the UI. Ie… show/hide Title, show/hide the toolbar under the title. For some reason “file size” column doesn’t display anything. Would be great to show/hide that as well 🙂 This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by Atomic Coffee Media.

The FileBird Doc library has solved all my issues with sorting and displaying results and all sorts of documents for the members in my club. Super easy to work with. And finally, the support from the Ninja Team – the best ever!

I really like this plugin. But it will be a great addition to have the thumbnails displayed (optionally) if the files are images. It helps a lot. I do have this plugin to create stock images of my products to other retailers. And the names of the files don’t give a real description to the images (even if i try) So it will be great to have the thumbnails displayed on both grid and list layouts
