Biggest opportunity: Add “favorite” to your wp.org tags. You rank #8 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.
Install conversion
How it's measured →4.9%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 20.6K 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 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.

Really easy to use and the simple love heart shape to add favourites looks really good on posts. I’ve tried all the favourites plugins and this one is by far the best.

Thank you for this amazing plugin. It still works like a charm! Is there a place where I can donate?

Since it says “untested” with my theme, I tried it out and I’m happy to report so far it looks like it works with my theme. I use Manta Serious Theme. Thanks. This added exactly what I needed. Update: One issue with my theme I found , is that it seems to only store the data in the Web Storage. I searched and found none being stored in my database. Not sure why that’d happen though.

I love how simple and elegant this plugin in, and works exactly as described. It’s simple to implement, very flexible with plenty of options for customisation, and the support threads are thorough and helpful. Just don’t do what I did and add the button and the favourites list to the same page (while I was testing), as this breaks the button under the Thrive Theme Builder theme.

Excellent plugin! Very light, just enough sets up. Without bugs. It is surprising that he is free. The author, you already throw, nulyuya. We will pay 🙂
