Biggest opportunity: One page off on “tarot”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

of downloads still active
At least 50 of 5.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| phsychic your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| runes your tag | #2 | #4 | 0 |
| oracle your tag | #5 | #9 | 0 |
| tarot your tag | #14 | #6 | 0 |
| self help your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
12 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 8 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “tarot”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “self help” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

There is no translation template nor scheme. Bad coding practice and unconsistency.

Just added the plugin to my site yesterday. I really like it. Very simple, easy to use. Q: May I customize it’s CSS and Wording for my site? I did so here: TarotParlour.com Just learning the structure of plugins and have a couple I want to make. It would be great if you had a tarot one too.

I really enjoy this plugin, and would like to see it updated. For some reason, the Pagan community is in a kind of a feedback drought, and folks don’t speak up enough. This is a shame, in my opinion. Please don’t give up on this project just because people are too tight lipped lately. Thank you for this plugin! 🙂
