Biggest opportunity: Swap “button” for “customisable”. “button” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “customisable” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.7%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 7.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

Funktioniert auf WordPress 6.5.5.Was mir jetzt noch fehlt wäre die Einbindung für Bilder/Bildergalerie.Aber leider wurde an dem Plugin schon lange nichts mehr gemacht.Schade.

This plugin is exactly what I was looking for and works perfectly. Thanks! ❤️

I have no idea why this is not more popular. It does exactly what you need with no fuss, no need for all sorts of third party account, pro accounts, or drama. I’ve tried all the options and ‘Love me’ is the clear winner. Install it, turn it on and viola! You have a clean simple post likes counter. Highly recommend.

Hübscher Herz-Button, der jedem Leser ermöglicht sein Gefallen an einem Beitrag zu zeigen. Und das Schöne ist, der Besucher muss sich nicht dafür irgendwo registrieren wie beispielsweise für die Nutzung des Jetpack-Like-Buttons.
