of downloads still active
At least 90 of 3.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,016 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI 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 6 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| website editor your tag | #12 | #23 | up 2 |
| ai your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ai editor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| elementor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

30 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 29 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “website editor”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “ai” and “ai editor” 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.

I recently used Frontman to help me update a legacy WordPress site, and it was a game changer. It made the whole process incredibly smooth.The visual preview editor is super intuitive, saved me hours of digging through old admin menus. Installation and integration were seamless. Thank you to the developer/s for creating such a massive timesaver 🙌

Switched from ChatGPT to Claude the other day and this plugin just kept working perfectly no re-setup, it integrates smooth with both. Frontman is an absolute game changer, dude. You open /frontman, tell the AI what you wanna tweak on your live site, and it actually does the edits right there while you watch the preview. Saved me so much time messing with blocks, pages, and settings. If you’re tired of WordPress admin headaches, just try this and you’ll get hours back in your day.

Hate WordPress? You’ll love Frontman. Saves me literally hours of work, searching, wondering on WP, i tell Frontman what i need, maybe helping it a bit by selecting elements on the screen and ask for what i need. 90% of times it does it with no problem and in under 2 mins. If you’re working with wordpress you should try this, if you want some free time, that is.

It was super easy to install and connect to my chatgpt account. After that using it was very easy since its very visual and since it interacts with my existing plugins (like gutenberg) it lets me configure things, change pages, and create content without needing to code at all!
