1.4%

of downloads still active

At least 700 of 49.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 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 3 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.

    This is an amazing plugin. We have been wrestling with the conversion of posts and pages into ebook format to offer our site visitors/students another media of presentation and MPL was already there to do the job. The walk-through to get you up and running is spot on. The free features list is extensive. The pro version is extensive + . This is a serious piece of work. Thank you. 👍 🙏

    I was trying to find a plug-in that I could use to easily turn my blog posts into epub format. MPL-Publisher had a few simple steps to follow and I was able to get individual blog posts in a flash. I haven’t tried any of the other options, but I think the audiobook converter sounds really interesting, too. Thank you!

    An exceptional tool for turning WordPress into a real book!MPL-Publisher exceeded my expectations. It allowed me to effortlessly compile my WordPress content into a professionally formatted PDF and ePub with full control over chapters, layout, metadata, and cover. The interface is intuitive, the output is clean and well-structured, and it supports advanced publishing needs without requiring coding. Highly recommended for anyone turning their blog or site into a publication.
