Biggest opportunity: “chat”, “chat online” and “chat software” 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 2.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 630 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Chat & Support 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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, 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 |

What to do about it
- “chat”, “chat online” and “chat software” 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.
- Already on top for “happyfox”. #3 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ 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 1 Nov 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.

After a long search I had high hopes for this product and started the 14 day trial. No matter what I did I couldn’t get it to activate and generate an API key. The worse part is, this company, that claims to provide a support product, has terrible support, and either does not understand their own product, or doesn’t really care if it is broken. In the ONLY reply I received from support, they indicated that the problem was that my site is on a sub-domain, and they don’t support that — I’d need to make it be on the primary domain to work, and they suggest doing after the site is in production !??! That would make the product unusable for many of my clients — some have their main site on the primary domain with their store on a store. subdomain. My biggest e-commerce client, with Multi-site and WPML has their US site on their “us.” subdomain and their EU site on their “eu.” subdomain. After receiving no replies to my questions beyond that, I changed my DNS and redeployed a version of the site on a primary domain, which still didn’t work. Then I disabled all other plugins, switched to twentyninteen theme — still broken. I also noticed that they are not keeping current with WP releases — I AM DONE.
