Biggest opportunity: “background image”, “background manager” and “full background image” 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 7K of 174.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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.
Removal-risk signals

- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.16.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| background image your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| background manager your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| different background per page/post. your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| full background image your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page background your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

I’m using Full Background Manager in the WordPress 5.4 with Gutemberg and it’s work perfectly. I’m also using it in the Graphene Theme, that manage just the Index page background … and didn’t conflict.

I installed this plugin to have per-page background images set up. I learned very quickly that it simply does not work. The option to do so is there, but the image is incorrectly added to the CSS. An image from the Media Library (with a full URL, not just a path) is assumed to be the path to an image. I know this because I checked the CSS and saw this: body.custom-background { background-image: url("http:\/\/gorjianacq.mikopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/mainbg.jpg"); background-position: left top; background-size: auto; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; } Notice the strange-looking background-image URL.
