Biggest opportunity: “registration”, “webinar” and “webinars” 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 7.6K 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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.7.41, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| gotowebinar your tag | #5 | #5 | 0 |
| gotomeeting your tag | #5 | #5 | 0 |
| registration your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

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

This software requires a Gotowebinar account. I was wanting to use the software to integrate with client’s GotoWebinar. I downloaded this one, then purchased the software at http://gotowp.com. It’s the same software. After finding out that it wouldn’t work, they did not refund my $79. Horrible software. Horrible company. Look elsewhere.

WOW, I found a WP plugin to meet my needs. OOPS, not so. This is such a great idea for us who do not know coding. Unfortunately, it is outdated. The background details have not been updated to coincide with GoTo changes. Cannot use this plugin. Great idea if it would work. It looks like the author is having to focus on many other tasks…fred

Firstly, the minimal instructions are useless; especially without real-world examples. Secondly, after 13+ hours I think I’ve managed something but in the end the data is not being passed to GTW. Thirdly, no support for the plugin from the developer (I don’t expect much for free but still) nor from Go To Meeting folks, and the only assistance I received was from Gravity Forms. My recommendation is to skip this plugin.
