How it's measured →4.5%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 8.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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.

I was looking for a plugin that can add multiple authors and contributors in a post and found Molongui. Gave it a try and it works fine. The support is fantastic I must say. If there is any issue, write to the support team, they are super friendly and ready to go the extra mile to help solve the problem.Sujit This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by Sujit B.

I was struggling to find a plugin that suited my theme and that could include the names of the editors and fact-checkers in articles. Well, I was delighted to find this and support did a fantastic job in helping me get set up. Looks great on the site and does exactly what it says!
