Biggest opportunity: “builder”, “editor” and “elementor” 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 600 of 74.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,266 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| builder your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| editor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| elementor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page builder your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| visual editor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

In the menu section of wordpress there are new options to create super-easy and incredible mega-menus, please update this plugin.

Please continue with development! It is better than others pay plugins.

I really love this plugin and it has awesome potential. In-fact it has so much bundled in for free and that makes it superb. Only downfall is, it’s no longer being updated and as a result a few things are quite broken. The developer doesn’t seem to be interested in fixing anything or this project is abandoned sadly. So far, one of the biggest things I noticed that is broken is all the links. When you enable StylePress on a site the normal link function in Elementor then becomes broken. The options to open link in a new tab/same window etc no longer show up and that’s unfortunate. Besides that, there are a few others too, but I am really hoping that the developer will work on this plugin again. So many of us on here, on Facebook, on Github have been asking, or if not, please pass on to another developer who’s willing to fork and maintain this project.

No requirement to use any other plugin, this plugin solved all of my needs. There are no bugs at all (atleast upto this time)

All I can say about StylePress for the Elementor plugin is WOW! This plugin is going to make putting together a decent website a whole lot faster and easier. StylePress is very intuitive and works very well. I know it is just a “Beta” version but when it gets developed further everyone and their brother are going to want this plugin. Good work guys…please keep it up.

Very promising. It’s powerful but has a bit of a learning curve. Could be greater if more options for menu styling and form styling are added.

Maybe great , but a two minutes video at the speed of light and without voice over just doesn’t convince me. People who know to use this plugin don’t need Elementor at all, they are already diehard WordPress whizzkids. This topic was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by simondewaal1980.

if this is regulary maintained an developed further on it is in fact a real game changer! while still ‘beta’ this plugin gives possibilities to expand elementor far beyond every other page builder. seriously. not free from some little bugs and such in that early stage – but with really big potential and already great options. so regardless of the latter – full five stars from my side for efforts and encouragement for further development. great job already. ———————————————– // EDIT 2017-09-18 // so sorry, but its not amazing any more! not maintained for months. it is more and more falling behind the development of elementor: more issues occur as time goes by due to this, as described in several comments here and on github as well. currently definitely not useable – and for sure absolutely no good idea to be activated in a public state of a website! totally sad having to say that this seems to be no longer promising due to the obvious lack of keeping it alive (and even not bringing it to an official stable release version the last months…). no pleasure to do so – but this time i have to revise my rating to one star! this might change in no time as soon as the development of plugin is going on and brought to a state of reliability and ongoing development.
