Biggest opportunity: “audio”, “audio video” and “billable” 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.

How it's measured →0.4%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 2.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,317 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media 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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.5.33, well behind 6.8.

2018-12-15 : Installed it, when I go to the settings, it tells me to go to getpaycall.com to sign up, which switches to chatowl.com. I don’t see anything that ressembles a “get an account” link. Is this plugin dead or what? This topic was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by merlinregis.
