Biggest opportunity: “page tags”, “tag cloud” and “tags” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 500 of 16K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| page tags your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tag cloud your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tags your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

I created several categories, re-saved permalinks settings on dashboard, added a tag to a page, saved. But when I go to mysite.com/page-tag/tag_slug I see a blank page with phrase “Nothing found” (this is not a 404 page, but page generated by Page Tag Cloud plugin). Than I went to the support section and found… most of topics are not resolved and half of them are even not replied by author! P.S. The problem with blank page was generated by another plugin (“Exclude or include Pages, Tags, Posts & Categories (integrate with WiziApp)”) because I checked-off both checkboxes for the tag (‘Display on your website’ and ‘Display on your mobile App’). Since I checked ON both checkboxes, the page “mysite.com/page-tag/tag_slug” displays corresponding pages (works fine). ========== Хороший плагин, работает, но не выводит список тегов на странице. Единственный, который я нашёл под данную потребность. Установил плагин, пересохранил настройки пермалинков в админке, создал несколько тегов. Добавил один тег к однйо странице, сохранил. Но когда переходишь по ссылке “mysite.ru/page-tag/tag_slug”, выдаётся пустая страница с фразой “Записей не найдено”. И это не 404-ая страница, а страница сгенерированная плагином! Помимо этого, плагин не предусматривает возможности вывести на страницу список тегов, указанных для неё. Пошёл в раздел “Поддержка плагина” на этом сайте. И что увидел? Как минимум в половине тем – проблемы не решены, и как минимум на половину баг-репортов аффтар даже не удосужился ответить! P.S> C проблемой не отображения страниц по тегу всё-таки разобрался. Причиной был другйо плагин (“Exclude or include Pages, Tags, Posts & Categories (integrate with WiziApp)”). Он добавляет кадому тегу (в настройках тега) две галочки – ‘Display on your website’ и ‘Display on your mobile App’. Как только я их поставил, на странице тега появились страницу, в которых он указан. Автор, респект вам и надеюсь, что всё-таки допилите функцию вывода тегов на страницу!

Great IDEA wish it worked, I’d even pay for this plugin as PAGE TAGS are a missing component of WordPress. Also looks like there is NO SUPPORT for this plugin seems it was abandoned. I hope someone else picks up on this missing addon to WordPress. This topic was modified 9 years, 2 months ago by AZPub.
