Biggest opportunity: Swap “variation swatches”, “quick view” and “product labels” for “frequently”, “together” and “buy now”. “variation swatches” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “frequently” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “quick view” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “together” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “product labels” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “buy now” 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 →2.8%
of downloads still active
At least 9K of 324.8K 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 13 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “variation swatches”, “quick view” and “product labels” for “frequently”, “together” and “buy now”. “variation swatches” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “frequently” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “quick view” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “together” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “product labels” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “buy now” 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 “product labels”. #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 “quick view”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Did some more testing and stuff in the background and installed the plugin again and it works now without breaking the customizer. So far so good and its a good addition to woocommerce. This topic was modified 10 months, 3 weeks ago by Stephen.

Athemes is great at deploying updates without testing them thoroughly, has broken my live website multiple times. Any time I have tried to ask for support they insist on admin level access to my installation to detect and fix bugs, which is not possible to give.

I am only using a fraction of this plugins potential and where I have encountered conflicts with other plugins and themes the developers have been extremely quick to react and suggest solutions and in one case a full patch. Highly recommended

Lots of features – all in one!

This plugin actually prevents sales on the website.Plugin full of bugs and very poor quality. Do not touch unless you want to have a headache! Spent countless hours setting it all up only to find out that you will ended up working for developer providing crucial debugging info. Makes you wonder if someone actually test this before making it public, as it’s hard to believe that many bugs exist within the plugin. This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by Thisisforsale.

I love this plugin. Using Pro version. It has 98% of all my modern e-shop needs! And they constantly adding new features! I reccomended this plugin 110%.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ treacypatrick2.3y ago
My honest impression is that the app overdelivers. There’s more in it than I realised, and the coding seems strong. I’ve been caught by poorly coded apps that slow my website down, so this is a real priority for me.
