Ninja Announcements Lite

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #23,000 to #24,800, alongside the other plugins at 30+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share 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.

Crossed into this band 7 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Very complete plugin. I give “only” 4 stars because there is a paying version.

   No matter what I try I cannot add any announcements. Constantly resets every time I add a new one. On top of all that the plugin (without anything but the stock theme activated) breaks the blog feed on the site. Words of advice – Make sure your **** works before having your users deal with the issues you over-looked. all the documentation is useless and the links from the Pro plugin display are broken or lead to a page that does not exist anymore. I will be reporting this plugin as broken as well as a removal unless all bugs are fixed.
