Biggest opportunity: Swap “film” for “tv shows”. “film” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tv shows” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 200 of 30.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,786 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| movie database | #4 | #5 | 0 |
| television your tag | #4 | #2 | 0 |
| movie your tag | #13 | #13 | down 1 |
| tv shows | #24 | #16 | down 2 |
| film your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| movies your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tv your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
14 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 10 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “film” for “tv shows”. “film” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tv shows” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “movie”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

My main menu has Categories for items and clicking one should go to a page listing posts in the category. Instead, it shows an incorrectly formatted version of the first post in the category.

The plugin is built like a tank with incredible features and extremely fast response times via the TMDB API. Works perfectly! Recommend it 100%!

<p>I MUST SAY I LOVE THIS PLUGIN, ITS SO EASY AND STRAIGHT FORWARD.</p> <p>It’s lost the second type of category as it used to display the post category and the specific movie or tv show category when creating & editing one, but now it’s only one displayed on the right, I’m not sure if you have integrated all categories into one, it would be nice to know. cheers for the great plugin</p> This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by Will Bill.

nice plugin

This plugin does a great job in conjunction with the right theme and a few other plugins and custom fields. I have accomplished almost everything I could hope for in a movie catalog of my personal collection. I hope it continues to be supported.

I finally found it. The perfect review plugin for what I’ve been looking for. There are others in this camp, but most I’ve found are very heavy, steep learning curve, or sort of take over your blog with styling, settings, etc. I simply wanted a method to import meta content of a movie/tv show into my blog posts so that I could once-and-for-all leave behind the whole cycle of: 1) searching for the title on the net 2) downloading/stealing a poster 3) uploading to my blog, along with details Those steps take away from what’s really important: my review. The simple, yet elegant integration with TMDB is just great. Kudos!

The best plugin on WordPress. Kostas, and his team have done an amazing job with this plugin and our whole site is built around this plugin. For any other wordpress users using this plugin and looking for a great theme to work alongside it, I’d highly suggest getting the Blockter theme. This plugin and the Blockter theme compliment each other immensely. Feel free to take a look at how we’ve integrated this plugin into the theme here: https://insomniacs.party This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by insomniacsbuilds.

We have recently installed this Plugin to our WordPress website, and although we haven’t managed to get it to fully function properly, the Developer has gone out of he’s way, to personally help us sort that out, until he can release an update. This Plugin, is extremely easy to use, and looks amazing, when you add the Movie Reviews. We are very excited, about the new update, and for when the small issues, will be resolved, it will be a flawless Plugin.. Very excited, about the future of this Plugin. 🙂
