Biggest opportunity: Swap “facebook” for “open”. “facebook” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “open” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 3K of 102.5K 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 1 release 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “facebook” for “open”. “facebook” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “open” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Thank you for this plugin. I installed and set it up in just a couple of minutes. Had to check the Help file because the first time it didn’t work. I found the answer to my problem easily. I just had to scrape my website through facebook debugger and voila it worked!

Been using it for months now, and it works as in the description.

I never had a problem with Facebook Fixer. Open Graph just doesn’t work. Bring back Facebook Fixer!

Sorry, but if defining defaults requires buying a PRO version, then it is probably not worth the trouble. This topic was modified 7 years ago by newsbee.

I don’t know if they consider it a feature or a bug, or just a reason to upgrade to the pro version, but it sends the wrong OG data to FB. I shared a post about a week or so ago, and it showed fine. I shared a post today, similar in theme but totally different URL, title, description — instead, OG sent the same info to FB as the last time, and the debugger tool on FB found tons of errors in the page. So my post which last week was about what if you could teleport anywhere in the world showed in the preview again this week even though the post this week was about a totally different title and topic (hypotheticals about war). Disabled the plugin, everything works fine again. Pass…
