Biggest opportunity: “email newsletter”, “email subscription” and “mailpoet” 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.

Install conversion
How it's measured →1.3%
of downloads still active
At least 40 of 3.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,294 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing 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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.5.33, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| email newsletter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| email subscription your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| mailpoet your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| newsletter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| newsletters your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

<p>This plugin works flawlessly on MailPoet 2. I have about 9 User Roles I created in User Role Editor plugin. My blog site is designed to post to specific categories – each user role would get a specific category – so I need this plugin to work on MailPoet 3 when it rolls out in September!</p> <p>UPDATE: This plugin does NOT work with MailPoet 3.</p> <p>UpdateV2: This plugin can be deactivated. Use the MailPoet 3 Segments to create lists that sync with WordPress user roles. Hope this helps someone!</p> This topic was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by jhennahane.
