Biggest opportunity: “footer creator”, “footer generator” and “footer widget” 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 2K of 82K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,194 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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
51/100Maintenance 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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| podamibe | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| footer creator your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| footer generator your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| footer widget your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| footer widget area your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| simple footer widgets your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “footer creator”, “footer generator” and “footer widget” 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.
- Already on top for “podamibe”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Well, I couldn’t be happier. It was easy to configure (a testament to the dev for making a great UI) and it just simply adds an extra footer to your site. It’s what I wanted, it’s exactly what I got. Thank you very much, it is indeed… Excellent! This topic was modified 7 years, 6 months ago by valym777.

My site theme came with no option to change their pre-formatted footer options, so I had to look for something I could use myself. I’m not an expert wordpress coder, or developer, so it needed to be simple to use and configure. This plugin works perfectly, once you work out how to add it (which is actually pretty simple if you follow the instructions) It creates your chosen number of footer columns with access to Widgets to add items to each. It’s really helped me to create the footer I needed. Also, when my site theme updated, it affected the plugin, which I needed support to fix. they were quick to respond (once I’d emailed them) and answered in the forum with the solution. Well done, this is a great plugin and I’d definitely recommend it.
