Biggest opportunity: Swap “openstreetmap” and “maps” for “map markers” and “multiple markers”. “openstreetmap” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “map markers” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “maps” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “multiple markers” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.6%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 387K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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 41 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.

The plugin is easy to implement, flexible and intuitive, and the support is excellent. Beyond anything else we encounter these days.

Ich bin froh das Open User Map Plugin gefunden zu haben, denn ich schätze die Unabhängigkeit der Openstreetmap und die hohe Flexibilität für den Einsatz der Karten, Marker und der Verwaltung. Darüberhinaus unterstützte mich der Support bei zwei Herausforderungen zeitnah und zwar solange, bis mein Problem behoben war (Open User Map PRO).

This plugin works exactly as advertised and when you need help with something you get a real person responding to your needs via email. Really helpful, unique plugin with decent features, definitely worth the subscription if you use it regularly.

Thanks to Daniel for his fast & efficient answer. He saved my day.

We started using this for our Science Society group so smaller groups across the UK can be supported. We are not WordPress wizards, so its improtant that it was easy. We started to use the map and fill it m and found it super useful that people could manage their own map point. We then wanted to update the website so built a staging site and swapped it over. The map then has a license problem and within hours Daniel had gone in an fixed it. Excellent service!
