Biggest opportunity: Add “onclick popup” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7 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 3 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 56.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 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.

How it's tracked →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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| onclick popup | #7 | #20 | — |
| onclick your tag | #17 | #24 | 0 |
| popup your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| widget your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “onclick popup” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7 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 3 listed it's a slot worth spending.

Almost there, but the ‘position’ should accept %.

This plugin works but has very limited application in its current form. The shortcode [onclick-popup setting="1" group="1"] created 5 links instead of just one. The only way I could limit it to just group 1 was to delete the other 4 groups. Surely that’s not how it should work. The popup only ‘pops up’ once per page refresh. That’s ok if you only want the client to see the pop up once. This “feature” is not mentioned on the author’s plugin page. Based on the Support page, the author is not actively monitoring support requests. Many still waiting after 3 months (or more) for any response. If you intend using this plugin seriously, one of the support questions sent in mid 2013 was actually an answer. The support question provides a link with everything you need to fix the plugin to work as expected e.g. pop up more than once per refresh and how to use it in a ‘responsive’ them. Looks like good stuff but not suitable for a novice and too much effort for me. Too bad the author hasn’t been reading his support entries. He could have used this guys documentation to fix and improve the plugin. The author (gopiplus.com) is responsible for dozens of WP plugins. I tried this one (Onclick Popup) because I had found WP Anything Slider (another gopiplus plugin) worked as described. Sadly I can’t make the same recommendation for Onclick Popup: just one star.
