Biggest opportunity: “genesis”, “genesis framework” and “genesis logo” 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 400 of 12.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,774 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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.9.40, 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.

Folks the message “Oh No!! You have custom_header activated in your functions.php. Open that file and remove: add_theme_support( ‘custom-header’ );” does not mean “trash your file.” 1. Open up functions.php via your FTP program or a web editor (not a word processing program) 2. Notice the lines with a hashtag (#), these are explanatory lines for the lines coming afterwards. In other words, putting a hashtag (#) at the beginning of a line of code stops the code from working 3. Look carefully at functions.php. You will see a couple lines where it says: add_theme_support( SOMETHING OTHER THAN ‘custom-header’) So, do NOT delete these or put hashtags in front of that code 4. Patiently find the EXACT line of code: add_theme_support( ‘custom-header’ ); 5. Put a hashtag at the beginning of the line (and the couple lines after it if you want, they are a connected little blob of code) 6. Save (not as a word processing file or functions.php.txt, just plain old functions.php (if you do not know how to do this then learn that before you even think of editing any plug ins) 7. Presto! You can now upload a logo (assuming you turned on “use an image logo instead of text-based logo in GENESIS –> THEME SETTINGS –> HEADER –> choose “Site Title/Logo”) Thank you for your time writing this cool plugin, Jonathan! (and other folks, everyone here is a volunteer, be respectful!)

I installed the plugin and after which it gave the following message. Oh No!! You have custom_header activated in your functions.php. Open that file and remove: add_theme_support( ‘custom-header’ ); This is apparently due to me having a custom Genesis child theme that handles header features as well. Anyway, I following the instructions and it instantly trashed the entire site from loading. I fixed it by using FTP access to the functions.php file and replaced the changed one with a good one. Plugin was a fail and should no way suggest things to crash your site.

Works great, it saved me a ton of time, even though I don’t like to use images if at all possible. This plugin works even though it hasn’t been updated in a while

Jonathan is great with Genesis! I used this plugin before he added it to the repository- super easy to install and set up. Glad he added the plugin to the repository.
