Biggest opportunity: “jquery”, “jquery manager” and “jquery migrate” 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 7K of 90.1K 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.
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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24.

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.

I run this on a website which has a paid premium theme for a music band. I make wordpress websites myself but the drop of jquery support on wordpress broke some of the functionality. What just works works, thank you for the updates!

The plugin does not have support for jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.3.2:2 Which several of my plugins require. Furthermore it should roll back changes when deactivated. This topic was modified 4 years, 8 months ago by Jonathan. This topic was modified 4 years, 8 months ago by Jonathan.

Fantastic and butt saving plugin. The slideshow on an old site with an abandoned theme broke on updating WordPress to 5.8 due to the jQuery v3 change. No matter what I tried I couldn’t fix it… until I worked out that it was the jQuery version and then found this plugin. With jQuery Manager for WordPress I was able to select and use jQuery v1 and jQuery Migrate and the slideshow started workng again. You beauty. The big clear debug labels in the front end are a nice touch. Thank you kindly. Greatly appreciated. This topic was modified 4 years, 9 months ago by n1ck0.

The website I help manage and control was experience JS errors which were associated with a updated version of jQuery, I wasn’t able to downgrade that version without the aid of this amazing plugin. It did what was advertised, only took seconds to use and it was able to revert the version of jQuery to 2.2.4 which restored all jQuery functionality of my WordPress site, 5/5 stars.
