Biggest opportunity: “button”, “click” and “gamification” 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 800 of 21.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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 1 release 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| gamipress your tag | #6 | #15 | 0 |
| gamify your tag | #8 | #17 | down 1 |
| button your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| click your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gamification your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

I have read the documentation and I have tried so many times but when using Elementor buttons with GamiPress buttons the ID’s never work no matter which order they are in. I have had enough with trying to get GamiPress to work with Elementor and I think this was my sign to find an alternative.

The developer can’t even show people how to use his product! I would expect instructions on what to add, in Thrive Architect, for “class” and “id.” His values don’t even work. His videos go so fast, and he never explains what he is doing! Why would anyone even use Gamipress for free?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do you add the correct id to the id field in Thrive Architect? How do you add the correct class to the class field in Thrive Architect? He would say gamepress-button and whatever you set the id to when creating the points type. It doesn’t work! When people ask him about how to do this in support, he tells them the instructions are on the plugin page. They are not! I wouldn’t buy an ice cream soda from this developer!
