Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin” for “ltr”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ltr” sits at #8 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 4K of 59.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ltr | #8 | #8 | down 2 |
| rtl ltr | #7 | #9 | 0 |
| admin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| arabic your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| farsi your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

What to do about it
- Swap “admin” for “ltr”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ltr” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Good and practicalIt helped me a lot in my work

I spent over an hour combing through the internet trying to figure out how to publish a Hebrew language post in an English language site. This plugin did it so easily. Before I found it I was tearing my hair out. With a single click everything displays properly. But one small issue, still can’t figure out how to get the post headline to display RTL.

With Google Chrome on Mac and WordPress 5.3, it’s working randomly, and most of the time it’s not… I’m working with multilingual websites, and it would be useful to have that plugin working.

This plugin beautifully solves a simple but nagging problem for admin in RTL installs – great relief!

Very easy and practical way to use both direction plugins.

With this plugin you can change the admin panel direction to show as LTR although the language is set to Hebrew (RTL).
