of downloads still active
At least 200 of 9.8K 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.

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 |

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “xapi”, “student progress” and “incomplete” (#5, #18 and #19 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

The plugin is really helpful to mark lessons/courses as completed. I only see 2 things that would make it waaaay better: It would be great to have the possibility to mark as NOT COMPLETED, and not only as complete. It’s really easy to mess up your Learners’ progress with this plugin, as you can mark a bunch of stuff as Complete in Bulk, and it doesn’t have a confirmation pop-up/warning, or anything to make sure people didn’t click there by accident. There’s no option to undo either, so be cautious!

I was happy to find this plugin initially because it gives one the possibility to easily complete topics, lessons and even whole courses directly for students — an essential features missing in LearnDash itself. However, I then found that using this plugin requires a paid plan of the another software product (Grassblade-xapi-companion from Next Software Solutions). I feel that this is a huge letdown. I have had a look at the Grassblade-xapi-companion software and while it does seem to have good features as such for larger LMS installations, I feel that it is wrong to have the Manual Completions for LearnDash plugin advertised just as a way to sell licenses for the Grassblade-xapi-companion software, which provides a lot of ofther functionality which one may or may not find useful. But most will probably install the Manual Completions for LearnDash plugin for just that specific feature. What the plugin provider could do would be to have a lesser or limited functionality for free, for example a manual completion feature for courses, lessons and topics but no import of lists for such. I feel irritated by this misguided plugin advertising to a degree that I have gone to the trouble of writing this review. A waste of people’s time!
