Biggest opportunity: Swap “note” for “ltr”. “note” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “ltr” sits at #7 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 1K of 16.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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 16 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.

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 “note” for “ltr”. “note” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “ltr” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “note”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

This plugin offers a useful way to keep notes on changes etc. Helpful to remember specific changes and why they were made.

The plugin works great as expected. I’ve had absolutely no problems.

An excellent way to keep track of what each plugin does. I also use to remind me NOT to use plugins that are causing problems

so far so good.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Skylabb1.7y ago
I’m looking for the capability to add notes to pages and posts and share them with other site users. This plugin has the core functions I’m looking for but lacks one essential feature to make it complete. It would be helpful to display partial note text on a column in the page and post listing table so you have an overview of the pages that have note and some idea what the notes are. I wanted to request this feature and note that the support threads are never answered. It looks like the author has little willingness to support and improve the plugin.

easy, simple, helpful. thanks a lot.

Thanks for the plugin! Please don’t abandon it. There is simply no other plugin that does the same or at least none that I could find, and beleive me, I searched for quite a while. If you could add the option for it to replicate/copy the notes on all created posts with the same tags it would be extreme. Thanks again!

It provides a handy place to leave notes. I used to leave notes at the bottom of my draft, but that’s risky because I’ve forgotten and left them in there a few times after publishing. This plugin removes that possibility. Thanks.
