Biggest opportunity: “facebook”, “video” and “video player” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 7.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
51/100Maintenance 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.
- No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

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.

Directory rank
Ranked about #25,300 to #28,300, alongside the other plugins at 20+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ David Perroud9.9y ago
Very bood plugin ! It’s so easy to add videos from youtube, as it’s find itself title and etc. from a link. Would be great to be able to add just a googleplaylist ID and get the playlist work directly. And the support was really really fast. I asked a question about the plugin and my theme, and i directly got an update of the plugin few hours later !

The player works pretty good. I like it. And thanks for support.

I give it 5 stars for support. They were very patient with me and helped me greatly even with the free version. I did purchase the pro and am having difficulties. More than likely I’m not using it correctly. They mean it when they ask you to send a support request to them if you are either having difficulties or frustrated which there actually should not be any. I am almost 70 and have dementia; but NOT Alzheimer. As far as the plugin: The free version is extremely easy to use. That’s because it’s basic. Only a couple of designs for the type of player you want because there are few settings. However, the default values can easily be used without problem and a lot of people may not need a variety of players; especially if they don’t have very many videos on their site. I did get the “pro” version and for me I have trouble with understanding some of the settings. Again, this is where plugin.builders grand support comes into play.
