Biggest opportunity: Add “new window”, “good” and “anywhere” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #16 and #21 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 10K of 439.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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 4 releases 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.

Let’s you create unobtrusive Modals from menu items or text links. Place any Widget inside them, even Elementor’s Widget that let you display any library item you wish. Creating Modals is like creating a Post or Page, with added options below the content input area. You can even set specific options for tablets or smartphones. Can’t believe this one is free and not part of the Pro Package.

Simple to set up and use compared to several other Modal Window solutions I tried.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Munir Kamal9.6y ago
This is really a nice addition as mostly themes either adds some simple popup functionality to theme itself or they won’t have it. But this extension to OceanWP theme is really intuitive and allows to create popup / modal windows with any content easily and you may trigger it from anywhere really.
