Biggest opportunity: Swap “ajax product filter” for “ajax filtering”. “ajax product filter” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ajax filtering” sits at #20 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 →1.0%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 19.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Search plugin keeps 0.7%, across 645 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Search 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 28 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.

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.

It’s not mentioned in the plugin description, but the plugin displays the filtered results on its own results page. It might work for some users, but it’s not a very flexible solution.

I am a pro version user:Filter Plus enhances the user experience by providing advanced filtering options for the WooCommerce store. With features like filtering by price, ratings, attributes, tags, categories, color, and size, this plugin allows customers to easily narrow down their search to find exactly what they need.

My review is linked to the (paid) pro version of the plugin as I’m using the WordPress post filter (and not the free WC functionality). The filter does what I need, which is basically the AJAX Product Filter. In general the functionality is still quite basic and lack some customization on displaying the search result compared to the established plugins. Nevertheless I give 5* which reflects the basic current functionality but also (even more) the responsive support which implemented some requests within a day. If they continue with this pace they will be soon an the level of the competition and beyond!

“Filter Plus is a WordPress and Woocommerce Product Filter Plugin that allows users to add multiple filtering features like filter by Ratings, Tags, Price Range etc.” – this is lie! Free version has absolutely no settings, it offers only widget for woo commerce,and NO WORDPRESS FILTER options at all, so the plugin description is completely misleading. Settings page does NOTHING! Shame on you!!!
