Biggest opportunity: Swap “email”, “user” and “notify” for “mails”, “email notification” and “mail”. “email” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mails” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “user” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “email notification” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “notify” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “mail” sits at #10 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 →11%
of downloads still active
At least 100K of 951.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,295 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing 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 4 releases 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “email”, “user” and “notify” for “mails”, “email notification” and “mail”. “email” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mails” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “user” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “email notification” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “notify” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “mail” sits at #10 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 “notify”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “switch”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

thanks a lot
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ TomCobbley2.1y ago
This is a really useful plugin for disabling those annoying ‘plugin x has just automatically updated’ emails. Suggestion for author – the plugin isn’t easy to find in WordPress’s plugin search for terms like ’email notifications’. This is because you spell email as e-mail. This might be the technically correct spelling, but it’s not helping people find your plugin. I would consider changing the spelling.

This plugin no longer works and seems to have been abandoned. Within the past half year, users were complaining they weren’t receiving the password reset emails. Sure enough, we found it was this plugin preventing password reset emails from going out. Disabled it and all is working as should now.
