Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin menu”, “change logo” and “hide version” for “brand”, “facility” and “menu hide”. “admin menu” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “brand” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “change logo” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “facility” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “hide version” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “menu hide” sits at #10 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 2K of 17.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,194 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “admin menu”, “change logo” and “hide version” for “brand”, “facility” and “menu hide”. “admin menu” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “brand” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “change logo” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “facility” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “hide version” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “menu hide” sits at #10 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 “hide version”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I found my website got hijacked and the hijackers used this plugin to not only infect my side and put in harmful code but also to hide it. Why the low rating? I believe this plugin is made for just this purpose because it can hide itself from the plugin list and hide in other injection plugins. I had to go through FTP to remove it. Only security plugins should be this persistent. Disgusting.

Even though it had low installations, we took a chance on it and so far it is working. Super simple set up and the changes show up instantly.Wp 6.2.2 and PHP 8+. We are using it in conjunction with Members by memberpress to create custom user roles and this plugin to hide certain plugins from those users.
