Biggest opportunity: Swap “facebook” and “google” for “graph” and “open”. “facebook” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “graph” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “open” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

2.5%

of downloads still active

At least 3K of 119.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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 2 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.

    It breaks custom blocks, include_once used in a custom block doesn’t work, and also breaks the FacetWP pluging logic. This topic was modified 10 months, 3 weeks ago by Venelin Borisov.

    Quick and dirty, this plugin does the job. Activate it and the tags will start showing up in the markup and sharing on facebook becomes more completed. So that is great, that it requires no skill to get where you want to go. But then you start realizing that a bunch of other stuff no longer works on your site like Woocommerce notices, or you start seeing any add_actions that you added to templates doubling up. This plugin calls the full apply_filters on the_content when it renders which makes everything within that stack fire twice causing anomalies which are very hard to track down. In closing: This plugin will probably work great for you if you have a vanilla site without too much customization. If you have a complex site with things like Woocommerce it’s not a good fit.

    This plugin works, simply and as stated, across several sites with different structures, and is much appreciated… Hoping it is kept up to date, as things seem to be poised for some rapid change, both WordPress and social media…
