Biggest opportunity: Swap “custom post” and “elementor widget” for “display” and “advanced posts”. “custom post” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “display” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “elementor widget” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “advanced posts” sits at #9 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 →1.3%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 226.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,263 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders 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.

Thank you SO MUCH for creating this amazing plugin. Makes a great Elementor addition without having to install the bulk of Elementor Pro. We needed to use it on Storefront theme, which is a very difficult theme to modify – so this plugin works perfectly. Keep up the good work!

unfortunately the plugin when activated crushed my checkout. I updated it but still not working. The form the client is supposed to fill in at checkout page are not displaying correctly. I have a Woocommerce + Paypal pity because the layout displays are nice.
