Biggest opportunity: Swap “icon”, “social media” and “woocommerce cart” for “mobile”, “bar” and “viber”. “icon” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mobile” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “social media” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bar” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “viber” sits at #11 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 →6.0%
of downloads still active
At least 9K of 148.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “icon”, “social media” and “woocommerce cart” for “mobile”, “bar” and “viber”. “icon” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mobile” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “social media” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bar” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “viber” sits at #11 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 “cta button”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Another great looking plugin that just does not work. Also, you have to use icons for everything. Where is the “Get a quote” icon? You need to add text and make it functional. You can’t add #anchor links. Most of the buttons just reload the page. You have to code all the info in html mystery code that breaks the page.

Excellent and very smart plugin. We could use even more icons because Font Awesome doesn’t have icon for e.g. Google Business Profile.

Adding “XFN attributes” option under “Add a query string parameter” would be appreciated. Thank you for your hard work and efforts.

It is very easy and useful. I recommend to all WordPress users. Just a feedback: It can be very good if we can set different background colors to each button. I think this function will makes the plugin better.

Thank you for this little but very useful plugin
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ webfantastic5.6y ago
I am very disappointed in this clueless plugin. Even 2 years ago, on the support forum, people asked to include classes for items, but apparently it should take 100 years before the author listens to users. The point is to make such stupid semi-plugins and post them here if you can’t hear the people who use them.
