Biggest opportunity: “pin”, “pin it” and “pinterest” 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 200 of 77.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.21.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| techgasp your tag | #5 | #4 | 0 |
| pin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| pin it your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| pinterest your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

Seems okay so far.

At first this appears to work but you don’t get the image you selected due to the path being incorrect and then you open the error console and look at the vast number of messages… and then you realise you can no longer customise your theme. So probably best avoided for now.

This works nicely on our sites, and it worked out of the box without having to do any debugging. Quite happy with it, particularly since it worked right away without having to spend a lot of time with it! Plus the widgets look good and it gives you options for the sidebar etc.

Not much use without buying the Premium version. Pity, they had an old version (2) which used to show boards.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ janmary11.9y ago
I wanted to be able to embed more that one pin on a page – not possible without additional knowledge/plugins coding knowledge required, and I needed to purchase the Advanced Option to find this out. The free version did not include the Top Pin function. Nowhere in the support documentation does it refer to the need to have Widget Logic to have it functioning. It mentions the need to “have working knowledge of the WordPress infrastructure itself” – I consider that the depth of knowledge required to get this to work as required is much deeper that a working knowledge Refund refused, despite me requesting within hours of purchasing, when I discovered plugin would not fulfil my requirements – disappointing.

Very easy to use and works really well.

This is a nice plugin… I use it to display my portfolio board on my new site (not yet live). It was easy to set up once I figured out that I needed to add parameters at the bottom of the page. 🙂 Thanks! Bud
