Biggest opportunity: Swap “demo” and “one page” for “companion” and “companion plugin”. “demo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “companion” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “one page” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “companion plugin” sits at #19 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 →1.8%
of downloads still active
At least 6K of 336K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,277 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ BackY2.9y ago
This plugin together with the “ILLDY” theme should be disabled from the wordpress.org website. They are both broken (comfirned by their admins) and they haven’t been fixed in literally YEARS. This can be confirmed in their forums easily.I wasted 3 days with this nonsense, only to learn no one is maintaining it anymore. This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by BackY.
