Biggest opportunity: “admin”, “hide” and “jetpack” 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.

How it's measured →0.6%
of downloads still active
At least 70 of 10.8K 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.21.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| admin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| hide your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| jetpack your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| remove your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

After activation, users, who have “Editor” rights are unable to insert images in posts. Uninstalling and switching to Adminimize.

Thrown argument when the plugin is activated on a wordpress mu install. Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/15/7794515/html/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php on line 1375 Using WordPress 3.8.2

This plugin worked as advertised for me…except that it interfered with some core WP functionality. I was having issues with non-admins not being able to add media to posts. I took the suggested approach of de-activating all plugins and re-activitating one by one to discover the issue. This plugin was the culprit. I appreciate the development of this and would use it again if it gets updated to avoid this.

I tried it on two sites, it works but interferes with other plugins.

This plugin causes the “review & payment” section in WooCommerce where [paypal] checkout is displayed (i.e., payment container) to break in Firefox and IE. It appears for a split second and disappears.

Easy way to hide Jetpack for non-admin users

This plugin hides JetPack only from the menu.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Owen13.3y ago
I activated jetpack and logged into a non-admin user I setup and I was surprised to see that he could see the jetpack options! I frantically searched for something to hide it and found this plugin. It worked perfectly!
