of downloads still active

At least 2K of 80.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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.

    I imported a PDF and it showed the imported pages fine, but when I click Preview, I get a blank page. I also added the shortcode which is great, but nothing showed. Frustrating. This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by hotwebideas.
