Biggest opportunity: “about author”, “about me” and “about me widget” 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 300 of 7K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| about author your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| about me your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| about me widget your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| about widget your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| author box your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Added the widget to our WP admin, activated it and it doesn’t work.

Works like a charm & exactly what I was looking for. Hint: If you want your link to a social network site to open in a new tab (the plugin does not provide this feature in form of a checkbox) simply add: target="_blank" rel="noopener" to the end of the link. Thanks a lot to developer Kantbtrue! This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by yesiamroot.
