Biggest opportunity: Swap “church”, “community” and “prayer” for “pray”, “prayer time” and “prayer times”. “church” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pray” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “community” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “prayer time” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “prayer” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “prayer times” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 721 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 5 releases 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| pray | #5 | #7 | down 1 |
| prayer request your tag | #8 | #9 | 0 |
| ministry your tag | #12 | #16 | down 2 |
| prayer your tag | #18 | #23 | down 6 |
| prayer time | #21 | #23 | down 1 |
| prayer times | #22 | #24 | 0 |
| church your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| community your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
14 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 8 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
- Swap “church”, “community” and “prayer” for “pray”, “prayer time” and “prayer times”. “church” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pray” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “community” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “prayer time” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “prayer” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “prayer times” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “prayer”. Down 6 places since 2026-10-21, now #18. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “ministry”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I’ve been using Intercessor for a while now, and I have to say this latest update has taken the plugin to another level. The addition of private prayer requests is a fantastic feature. It allows members to share sensitive prayer needs with confidence, knowing they won’t be visible publicly. This was something our church had been hoping for, and it’s been implemented really well. I also noticed the improvements to the Prayer History, which make it much easier to follow up on requests, as well as the cleaner login page, improved prayer display for logged-in users, and the refreshed settings that make the plugin even more intuitive to use. There are also lots of smaller improvements throughout the plugin that make the overall experience smoother and more professional. What impresses me most is that the developer clearly listens to feedback and continues to improve the plugin with practical features instead of just cosmetic changes. If you’re looking for a prayer request plugin for your church or ministry, I highly recommend Intercessor. It’s reliable, easy to use, and keeps getting better with every release. Keep up the excellent work!
