Biggest opportunity: “content aware”, “featured post” and “navigation menu” 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 600 of 81.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,194 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.30, well behind 7.1.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| intelliwidget | #2 | #2 | 0 |
| content aware your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| featured post your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| navigation menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| vertical menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “content aware”, “featured post” and “navigation menu” 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.
- Already on top for “intelliwidget”. #2 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Thank You For Existing! Great Plugin works easy and flawlessly, saved me so much time, effort and nervs! xxxxxxx

Have used this plugin without problems for a couple of years on a site and there was suddenly an odd problem I couldn’t fix. I contacted the developer from within the plugin interface and had a response immediately. Jason was very helpful in looking for and finding the solution. He was able to provide a fix and build it into an upcoming update. In my experience this type of support for a free and excellent plugin is rare and very much appreciated. Thank you very much!

IntelliWidget is a wonderful plugin. It’s lightweight and super useful. I also recommend the pro version from the dev website. It’s even better 🙂 Keep it up Jason, and thanks for the fix today.

We have searched pretty much everywhere for a similar plugin before finding Intelliwidget and nothing could compare. In fact there’s nothing similar on the market per se. The plugin is super simple, works like a clock, and is very easy to install and implement. We’ve been using it for almost 2 years now and are very happy with it. We had an issue recently after deleting the plugin by accident – we contacted the provider and he was not only extremely helpful, he also responded literally within the first half an hour, upon us contacting him. He then spent a good part of his Saturday fixing our code issue. And for that we are supremely grateful! Wish every developer was just as amazing! Thank you again so much.

Intelliwidget is exactly what I have been looking for. It is simple to use, but has outstanding powerful features.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Elisa Rohner11.0y ago
I decided against this because it really doesn’t do so much compared to what is in there. I wound up using Genesis Featured Posts instead since I already created sidebars in php.
