Biggest opportunity: Add “geotag” to your wp.org tags. You rank #16 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 5.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.34, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| geotag | #16 | #13 | down 1 |
| multisite your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| network your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| posts your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| taxonomy your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

No subsites show up in the list – You can add a featured image that shows up when you click on “view” in the directories But thats it, nothing gets listed at all nor can you sort or do any other thing

I finally fully implemented the plugin. Incredible results. I had to stop my work to write this review. This is a great way to get your sites visable – not just a list of links in a menu, but a list with descriptions, then a preview page with a link. That entire structure its generated by the plug-in, with your content. You simply add the sections via the standard menu interface. The plugin concept and execution are great! The results professional and integrate with any theme seamlessly. All done with minimal effort for the user. I must admit, I haven’t used any shortcodes yet. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing this stellar plug-in. I will be donating. All 4-5 star reviews should donate something. I want this plugin to be maintained. Cheers!

Work as expected. The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is that shortcode options aren’t documented. I’ve just forked the code on GitHub, I’ll work it out when at home
