of downloads still active
At least 200 of 14.5K 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 2 releases 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “cad”, “price history” and “dealer” (#12, #12 and #22 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Bases on the other reviews it seem it worked at one point and then it just stopped working. The paid version worked for most of the time but the vendor seems to have problems refunding his customers for the days the plugin didn’t work. Sad and a bit shady. This topic was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by Steff.

Doesn’t serve the purpose properly in free version.

Why I can not use shortcode? That there are some mistakes.

It sort of works…. but I implemented on a client site and found it unreliable, and also found it required payment in order to have anything more than the bog basic features. Overall, I think it would not be hard to do this better. …I will have to build a plugin of my own to suit my clients needs.

This WAS hands down the best plugin on the market if you own a gold or precious metals site. We loved it to bits – the constant update feed was a perfect thing to have in a site header. Unfortunately the free version is now broken. I say broken because it only updates twice a day (which is pointless) and shows $zero amounts for half the day. To get the function the free version DID have up until a few days ago you need to subscribe at a huge monthly fee or $200 a year. If the plugin did more that would almost be worth it on a site that generates good money, but on a free informative site it makes no economic sense. Such a shame – this was a brilliant simple plugin. The price for the new version is beyond ridiculous. Here’s hoping that fee goes to something more realistic and we may continue using the plugin – but failing that the new free version is useless. Sorry.

This plugin works great. I have ironed out the kinks. Please do not listen to moulan. It works just fine. It is only 3 months old and has only been down twice. This moulan person is 100% incorrect.

A horrible plugin, horrible !! 1) gives you the error 2) do not show anything I hope you do not download

The idea of this service is very nice but it seems like a trial without the necessary and required manpower continuity. Today Jan 4 the database is failing again with a price that is 50 dollars out.
