of downloads still active
At least 6K of 117.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| geolocation your tag | #1 | #7 | 0 |
| hivepress your tag | #2 | #7 | 0 |
| classifieds your tag | #14 | #21 | 0 |
| classifieds plugin | #24 | #21 | down 1 |
| directory your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| listings your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “classifieds”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “directory” and “listings” 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ karlos862.7y ago
Adding Geo-location is an awesome functionality for listings and vendors. It works well, performs quickly and can be integrated with GoogleMaps or Mapbox. Only draw back is it recognizes street address in Google Maps only and not businesses or “places” as an example it’s good for listings at (1 Alphabet Street, New York). But if you want to add location like (Central Park, New York) it will display the text but when a user clicks on the link, it will not go to Google Maps Central Park and instead will just open Google Maps with a default search of ‘ which will return no results. Making for a confusing User Experience (UX) but it may be early days, the support from this group is top notch so maybe they’ll patch it up in near future.
