Biggest opportunity: Add “functions”, “function” and “friendly” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #11 and #16 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 2 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →7.4%
of downloads still active
At least 900 of 12.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.
This plugin shipped 2 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.

What to do about it

日付を入力する項目が必要だったので、「カスタム・フィールドの入力タイプを「date」に変更」から入力タイプをお手軽に変えることができてとても助かりました！他にもカスタマイズ要望で表示・非表示設定が必要になったので使わせていただきました。ありがとうございます🙇♀️

文字コードが「utf8mb4」となっている環境で「検索結果の拡張」を利用すると、検索が出来なくなるバグがあります。これは「検索結果の拡張」を「利用する」にすると、決め打ちで照合順序を「utf8_unicode_ci」にしてしまうためです。文字コード「utf8mb4」の環境下では、「utf8_unicode_ci」ではなく「utf8mb4_unicode_ci」でなければなりません。 使用者の環境をチェックすることなく、決め打ちで重要な変更を加えるのは手抜きです。適切な対処を求めます。
