Biggest opportunity: “gdpr”, “privacy” and “rgpd” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →2.2%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 46.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.1%, across 502 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| gdpr your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| privacy your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| rgpd your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “gdpr”, “privacy” and “rgpd” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Je voulais éviter de donner les droits admin, juste pour modifier une page. Malheureusement, ça ne marche pas. La page est bien modifiable, mais on en peut pas enregistrer les modifications (Gutenberg). Quel dommage ! This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by marou10.

I don’t know why wordpress restrict access to privacy page and only admins can editing this page. This plugin is the duct tape of this problem! Thank you Julio Potier! This topic was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by Matthias Honert.

Useful plugin… the possibility that non-administrators can edit Privacy page should be a decision of the site manager and not of WordPress!

Solved the problem of my (trusted!) Editors not being allowed to edit the Privacy Page, without having to resort to code myself.

Thanks! This helped. Too bad a plugin is needed
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ lucspe8.4y ago
This plugin adds a functionality that should have been in core as in many “real life” scenarios is not practical to limit the possibility to edit the privacy page only to the administrator. Thank you for sharing this with the community!
