Biggest opportunity: “category”, “id” and “list id” 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 100 of 4.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 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.
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 4.7.39, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| category your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| id your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| list id your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page id your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| post id your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Copying the selected ID is very convenient. I hope to continue to maintain it.

This plugin works great. I had a situation where I needed to show sidebar widgets on only a select page comprised of custom post types. However, I could only do this by using a unique ID in the plugin Display Widgets. ID Array added a column of all unique CPTs in the types listing, and I then used those in Display Widgets. Solved a huge headache. Thanks!

I have a number of plugins that require me to enter in page id’s and of course finding them has been a hassle up until now. This plugin allows me to identify and select the page id’s I need quickly and with simplicity. Very nicely done. Thanks!
