of downloads still active
At least 1K of 79.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,577 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| spoiler your tag | #6 | #6 | down 1 |
| guttenberg your tag | #6 | #5 | down 2 |
| bbcode your tag | #11 | #8 | down 1 |
| inline | #23 | #20 | 0 |
| block your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shortcode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
7 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “bbcode”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “block” and “shortcode” 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.

Это лучший Вордпресс-плагин для создания спойлеров! Разработчик прислушивается к идеям и пожеланиям, и внедряет их. А благодаря добавлению функции: «спойлеры внутри спойлеров» стало вообще отлично!

После обновления перестали работать ссылки внутри спойлера. До этого всё было прекрасно. Исправьте, пожалуйста, поскольку аналогов у Вашего плагина пока пока нет.

“Inline” means “in the same line” (see e.g. inline CSS, inline functions in C++). This plugin only allows inserting whole separate blocks with spoilers, not creating them in the same line. 1/5 for a misleading title that draws all searches to this dead-end which does not solve the problem.

Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ reizla7.0y ago
I’m using this plugin to mark NSFW parts in my blog and it works pretty good for that part. There are 2 minor problems though: 1. The plugin doesn’t show up on the paragraph’s (+) menu so I need to use [spoiler title=”NFSW”] … [/spoiler] manually each time (using WP 5.2.4). 2. I like the dark theme over the light theme and when using dark theme the text isn’t converted to white. When these 2 minor things are fixed I’ll give it a 5* rating.

Works like a charm once you know that you can’t have spaces in a title. Use instead and everything is fine.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ fuvoman8.9y ago
I’ve tried 9 plugins for spoilers. Only 2 of them allow you to read the text if javascript is disabled. And only this plugin works correctly with the theme customizr. Super!
