Biggest opportunity: Swap “font”, “icon fonts” and “icons” for “icon font”, “anywhere” and “webfont”. “font” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “icon font” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “icon fonts” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “anywhere” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “icons” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “webfont” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →4.1%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 24.6K 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 1 release 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “font”, “icon fonts” and “icons” for “icon font”, “anywhere” and “webfont”. “font” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “icon font” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “icon fonts” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “anywhere” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “icons” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “webfont” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “icon fonts”. Down 5 places since 2026-09-18, now #22. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “webfonts”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ twoguysreviews4.1y ago
I don’t know why there is no one else reviewed this plugin aside from the developer. I was skeptical at first because it was last updated 1 month ago, but this plugin has solved my 3-day struggle with using flaticon. Their icons are awesome, but like what the developer of this plugin has said, implementing the icons onto your WordPress site can be tricky. Big “THANK YOU” to this plugin for preserving my sanity. This plugin’s interface is a little too simplified and would benefit from the example on YouTube (also uploaded by this developer).
