Biggest opportunity: “country”, “geo post” and “geo tag” 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 20 of 4.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,476 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Login & Users 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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.39, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| country your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| geo post your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| geo tag your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| location your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| user location your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
35 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 35 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank
Ranked about #25,300 to #28,300, alongside the other plugins at 20+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

The Perfect Solution to filter post based on the Country visiting it

the geo ip doesn’t work very well on firefox but it’s a great plugin nonetheless.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ronnykaram10.9y ago
The plugin works as expected; it delivers posts to selected countries. I was just wondering if it’s possible to exclude countries instead of adding all other countries. For example, if I want everyone to see the post except the U.S. Is this possible?

I was looking for a plugin to display/hide posts according to a user’s country, and I could only find plugins that displayed/hid content within shortcodes. This plugin was the only one I could find that did that, and it does it very well – thanks to the developers for releasing this! You’ve saved me a lot of hassle!
