Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin panel” for “serbian cyrillic”. “admin panel” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “serbian cyrillic” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 3.1K 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.

Release cadence

Other plugins – converting Cyrillic to Latin has issues with certain themes, especially with WP Bakery Page Builder; when these other plugins are installed, it doesn’t work. This one works clean and excellently, you’ve saved me time and its work with 6.4.1. WordPress. GG WP ^_^
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ kidades3.8y ago
EDIT: This has been fixed and the plugin now works as intended. The plugin does not replace all the cyrilic characters with latin ones, only the ones that look different. For example, it does not replace the cyrilic “а” with latin “a”. They look the same but they are actually completely different characters. You can press CTRL+F now and type in “a”. Only the second will highlight. This causes issues such as inability to search and also breaks SEO. This topic was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by kidades.
