MetaPin
by ilektronx · Uncategorized
Lame name, awesome and simple functionality. Meta for Pinterest adds fields for meta data used by Pinterest in tags to generate pins.

Biggest opportunity: “meta” and “pinterest” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 3.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.27, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| meta your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| pinterest your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Patrick Scheidegger3.8y ago
It took me some major time to track down that it was THIS plugin, out of 76, that causes my block editor to crash 100% of the time. I’m quite upset about it, as I didn’t think this plugin could have anything to do with such problems. I use the latest Genesis Pro + Genesis theme, so perhaps avoid if you’re using Genesis, or perhaps even just the block editor…. Current date: 28 December 2022

Great plugin, does exactly what it says it will do. Very easy to edit images and add your pinterest description. I wonder if it would be possible to have a meta title box to add a different tittle than the article title? Thank you!

It does what it needs to do. I was looking for a plugin where I can add data-pin-description for pinterest and with this plugin I can do it. In the editor click on the img edit button then there you can find the inputs. Thanks for the plugin!
