Biggest opportunity: Swap “social proof”, “customer reviews” and “testimonials” for “video testimonials”, “stumbleupon” and “xing”. “social proof” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “video testimonials” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “customer reviews” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “stumbleupon” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “testimonials” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “xing” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 115.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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 9 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
- Swap “social proof”, “customer reviews” and “testimonials” for “video testimonials”, “stumbleupon” and “xing”. “social proof” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “video testimonials” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “customer reviews” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “stumbleupon” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “testimonials” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “xing” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “testimonials”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I had an issue of the plug-in icon not showing up on Gutenburg. Once I contacted them, I was amazed how quick they notified me that they’d updated the plug-in. They endeavored several times to fix the issue until they managed to solve it.And I love how flexible and precise the plug-in works to my taste!!

I have contacted support as i am facing issue with template overriding. They have fixed it and released new version. How ever this plugin works great. very useful

Even though the site clearly states “You’re covered by our 7 days money back guarantee” and I requested a refund 1 hour after I realized this plugin would not suit my needs. My refund request was denied. Apparently they only offer refunds if the plugin is broken and they can’t fix it. As a developer, I will not be doing business with this company again.

You have to purchase pro version if you want to show star rating. For me, this makes it a non-starter.
