Biggest opportunity: Swap “rating” for “poll”. “rating” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “poll” sits at #8 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 200K of 1.3M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,767 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 4 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 “rating” for “poll”. “rating” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “poll” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Первым делом, я хотел бы отметить, что требование авторизации и покупки подписки для использования полной функциональности плагина может быть неприятным для многих пользователей. Ведь, как правило, люди ищут бесплатные решения и не хотят тратить деньги на каждый плагин, который им может понадобиться. Кроме того, существует множество бесплатных аналогов, которые могут предоставить функциональность опросов и рейтингов, без необходимости авторизации и покупки подписки. Также, я хотел бы отметить, что многие пользователи могут не быть готовыми предоставлять личные данные, такие как имя и адрес электронной почты, для регистрации на сайте, используемом плагином. Это может вызвать определенные проблемы в связи с конфиденциальностью и безопасностью данных. В целом, я бы рекомендовал изучить все доступные варианты, прежде чем принимать решение о покупке или использовании данного плагина.

I originally used PollDaddy in 2014 and was able to do restrictions and other features. It looks like the original Ireland team has been taken over by people who do not know what they a doing. AND I have a paid plan. Now that I have contacted tech support they are telling me that I am liar. I know I was able to do restrictions because for the past 6 years I was able to set them. They must be cutting back on their tech support and training. I continued with CrowSignal because the first few years it worked fine. If you can find something better do– There’s no point in me paying for tech support when the tech insults the customer. It’s like they don’t want to help anymore.
