of downloads still active
At least 6K of 145.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,782 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 23 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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “goal”, “board” and “agencies” (#5, #7 and #23 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Enough people do not share good experiences we have versus how quick we are to share the negative. With that said, I want to give a shout out to WP Ninja and their suite of Fluent products for WP communities. I have recently begun working with Fluent Support, Fluent Board, and am getting my feet wet with Fluent CRM (not pro yet, but the others are) and not only are these products built remarkably well, with beautifully thought out user interfaces, but with a price points that are incredible fair and reasonable. Most importantly, as we all know, support is the icing on everything and poor support can ruin an otherwise good, and often necessary product. This is not the case with WP Ninja, whose support has been nothing be proactive and speedy at addressing specific concerns we’ve had and providing immediate fixes to the challenges we’ve faced that were within the products scope. All in all … A+ WP software provider! Nothing bad to say at all.

FluentBoards works really well and is easy to use. I had an issue, but the support team was fast and helpful, and everything is resolved now. Great plugin and great support!

Ive been searching for a reliable and user friendly Projects plugin for years, out of the many I tested this is definitely the best one. Love that it integrates with WP users and their fluent ecosystem of plugins. They are still missing some important features around automation but feel confident on their team to deploy it soon.

We use Fluent Boards Pro for a variety of projects, but the main use is for complex price quotes that require a number of steps and follow-up from the time of the price quote until the quote is approved or rejected. There are several staff members who work on this, and until now it was a disorganized mess. Now, most customers start by filling out a form on our site (thanks, Fluent Forms) that helps us understand exactly what they want. That automatically creates a task in Fluent Boards and assigns it an initial user. From there, we have a great workflow, with the ability for any employee to clearly see what’s happening at every step of the process, add comments as needed, etc. What I also love is that they’re constantly improving this plugin according to customer requests. For example, I requested the ability to move custom fields around, and this is now a possibility! For me, personally, the only feature still missing is a time clock (preferably also with a Pomodoro option) so that users can time themselves while working. (There is a place to input amount of time worked, but I want an automatic option.) But even without that, this is a wonderful plugin that has hugely improved our workflow and work processes – and gives us the numbers to see how we’re doing (e.g., how many quotes have been approved vs. rejected) – and has helped us grow our business by making sure no one falls between the cracks. A solid five stars from me!

Fluent Boards is hands down one of the best tools I’ve used for managing product roadmaps and team workflows! It’s incredibly easy to use, super fast, and the interface is clean, modern, and beautifully sleek. Setting up boards, creating tasks, and tracking progress feels effortless – everything just works smoothly without any clutter or lag. It’s perfect for managing projects, sprints, or detailed product development roadmaps. If you’re looking for a powerful yet lightweight project management solution inside WordPress, Fluent Boards is a must-have. The Fluent team has done an outstanding job – highly recommended! 👏
