Biggest opportunity: Swap “html”, “word” and “office” for “ckeditor”, “footnote” and “footnotes”. “html” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ckeditor” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “word” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “footnote” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “office” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “footnotes” 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 →4.2%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 471K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “html”, “word” and “office” for “ckeditor”, “footnote” and “footnotes”. “html” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ckeditor” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “word” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “footnote” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “office” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “footnotes” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “office”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “paste”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

This plugin was literally a lifesaver! I had to import dozens of pages of a manual with texts and photos and the function that automatically uploads the photos to the library was FUNDAMENTAL. Thank you so much!

With the newest WordPress update Mammoth .docx Converter has stopped functioning properly. Sometimes it converts and inserts properly but most of the time it takes forever then only inserts half the Word document. 7 months is a long time to go without an update for the plugin.
