Biggest opportunity: “carousel”, “divi carousel” and “divi plugins” 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 18.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| carousel your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| divi carousel your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| divi plugins your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| divi theme your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| post carousel for divi your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Great plugin with 1 or 2 minor flaws. One is that if you use Extra theme or Divi Builder plugin, It doesn’t detect “Divi theme” and nags you in the admin with a silly message about it, but it still works great. Great job

Thank you for this plugin. It made my life much easier and it is more flexible than the post slider built into divi. Works great.

I would give this plugin 4 stars, however, I’m worried about how long it will last. It hasn’t been updated for the past 11 months (going onto a year) and that’s very, very dangerous. I’m currently using it with no issues right now on Divi 4.7.1 and WordPress 5.5.3. I am using it within the Divi Theme builder, and it doesn’t show the actual carousel as you’re building it, but a line of code. This is worrisome, however, it does work fine, with no issues on the front or backend. However, I’m not sure how long this will last. I’d also love to see an equalize height option, which would enable all the posts to be the same height; but again, not sure if this plugin is still supported by the plugin developer. I’ll continue to use till it breaks haha 🙂

Didn’t work with the latest Divi/WordPress version

I’ve used for my custom post type in a single – post template and it works quite smooth, wheel done.

Great plugin that works as it is genuine… Picture or post frame click could be added as improvement. Thanks!
