Biggest opportunity: Add “connections” and “mapping” to your wp.org tags. You rank #23 and #24 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →7.3%
of downloads still active
At least 8K of 109K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,272 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders 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 1 release 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.

This plugin makes creating custom post types in Beaver Builder so much easier!! I come from a design background and still learning code. I can do so much more with this plugin than ever before…and especially with my limited coding skills (at this point). 😉
