Biggest opportunity: Add “crossposter” and “crossposting” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5 and #12 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 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 200 of 50.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.

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.

Show many errors, i must deactivate and delete plugin

I was able to crosspost to livejournal one by one my latest 10 entries. Then I found the crosspost all old entries. But since I have almost 200, it timed out and only like my earliest 1/3 of them were crossposted. The rest must be done manually. I’m a programmer too by the way. It’s possible that that problem I can help resolve (depends on my level of time and motivation of course). I saw that you have a code.google.com with the code base, I haven’t looked at it yet though.

Earlier in the evening, I had a hairy experience with another crossposting plugin. One that nearly took down my site. Then, installing this one, I didn’t have high expectations. But I did, and started to work with it immediately. This plugin posted my blogs with the correct annotations. I would have preferred they were at the bottom of the post, rather than the top, but whatever. Posting and updating posts worked flawlessly. It really does sound like the author of this one listened to the feedback he was getting, and built a better piece of software. Kudos on a job well done!

Post settings doesn’t work – only default are applied, custom works only after post edit. NextGen single images doesn’t work at all. Doesn’t post anything with tags. NO SUPPORT at all 🙁 I have to fix every crosspost manually. It’s not adequate at all.

It crosspost fine in simple case – create new post and publish. But if you want to update post, be careful. When you update post in WordPress, it appears in LJ RSS at top again. Even if you disable to crosspost current post, it still visible on the top of LJ RSS after editing and saving in WP. It looks the only option is to disable plugin at all in such cases
