Biggest opportunity: “dummy”, “generate” and “lorem” 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 10 of 2.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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.
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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| dummy your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| generate your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| lorem your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| posts your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| terms your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

it’s a great plugin that help me to generate data for my Demo Website, I didn’t used to make reviews however I just found that the plugin have low reviews and just want to say that this plugin is not to generate good posts it’s just for developers who want to try or build a demo website thank you for the plugin

Generates example posts with *good* example content, eg. many different types of elements like headings, all kinds of lists, blockquotes, tables (!), and various image formats. Generates tags too. But I didn’t find a way to ‘marry’ the example posts with these tags. I needed to add the tags from the post editor for each individually. So this would be a wished feature: To make it possible to connect the posts with a variable and determinable ammount of tags. But for moment being, already a very nice plugin for developing a WP theme with respect to post content, thanks!

Hey, This does seem to break databases from my testing. I reported this, but the author doesn’t seem too concerned. Never did he work with me in an attempt to diagnose the cause. He just got defensive. But speaking of diagnoses, it was nice of him to wish me a cancerous death. Fingers crossed! 🙂 To be fair, the plugin did work for me on a clean local testing install. However, it did also break the DB of a site that had been running for several years 2/2 times attempted. So, for local testing it has been useful. And the DB has been repaired (twice) from recent backups, so that’s all good. Compared to similar plugins however, this plugin lacks reliability and severely lacks performance. On a positive note, it does have a nice UI, with plenty of options. Probably the best set of options I’ve seen from a plugin like this. I was going to give this 5 stars, then it broke my site twice, so I opted for three. Then I received a really positive email, so one star. Thank you for the wonderful experience Alexandru Vornicescu. I hope you don’t die of cancer.
