Biggest opportunity: “customize”, “templates” and “theme” 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 →2.6%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 382.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,141 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 3 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.

it is very helpful to add various content to add various places of site. Especially WooCommerce sites would see benefit from this.

This plugin works like advertised. And it is pretty easy to use. I’d live to see an advanced version that allows individual products to be customized. As is, this is a global feature. But for free, I guess I can’t complain The only issue I have is where they placed the settings. I search for five minutes trying to find the settings. Not in Woocommerce settings, not in product settings… no… the settings are in the “customizer”. If there is one thing I hate about WP it is the stupid customizer. I dread using it… it’s a useless tool for newbies with cheap themes. And placing a Woocommerce plugin in there just doesn’t make sense. Why not in the Woocommerce menu?

Thanks for creating this. You guys rock! Can’t wait for the day you guys will change Shopkeeper’s builder from WPBakery to Elementor. That would be a game changer for your theme sales. 🙂
