Biggest opportunity: Add “definition” to your wp.org tags. You rank #18 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 0 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 200 of 7.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

| glossary | #4 | #17 | 0 |
| simple glossary | #3 | #17 | 0 |
| definitions | #15 | #23 | 0 |

Update activity

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “200+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 10 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 300.

At first, I was very optimistic about this plugin, but it turns out that its developer has been ignoring it for several months. There are no updates, no support, and I also tried contacting them via email. So think twice if you really want to spend a lot of time using it. I am disappointed.

I really love this expansion. What would be nice is also to have the possibility of being able to open all the definitions by default and to be able to change the keyword of the slug (currently glossary)

Please… pleeeeeaaase. Don’t let this plugin die.It’s proof that simple is better. Always! I’ve lost count of how many “glossary” plugins I’ve tried before stumbling with this one. Why does this have “zero” installs?!?!?!It’s perfect. It’s just what I was looking for. Simple list, description, dropdown, index… and a marvelous shortcode that let’s you put it wherever you want it to work!One little thing that would step it up a notch would be pagination: let you choose on how many terms it should paginate. Food for thought, team? I loved it so much that went on and made the translation to portuguese 🙂
