Biggest opportunity: Add “curated content”, “curated” and “transcription” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #6 and #11 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 6.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| curated content | #4 | #13 | 0 |
| curated | #6 | #15 | 0 |
| content curation your tag | #10 | #12 | down 1 |
| resource hub your tag | #12 | #20 | 0 |
| transcription | #11 | #7 | 0 |
| curation | #16 | #13 | 0 |
| republish | #23 | #17 | down 3 |
| content hub your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| knowledge base your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
32 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 25 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
- Add “curated content”, “curated” and “transcription” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #6 and #11 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “resource hub”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
