Biggest opportunity: “marquee”, “post” and “scroll” 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 1K of 87.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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.

    omg, I never thought I would sign-in just to defend an author. 1. This plugin does work. 2. Yes, there is no drag & drop widget. However, drag & drop widget is not needed. 3. All you have to do is a) enable the plugin b) put in the short code “[post-marguee]” (that’s with “g”) 4. The short-code is not misspelled; it’s spelled that way to distinguish from the previous version (I think.)

    Works as mentioned. (Even the plugins vertical marquee/vertical marquee post title work excellent). Documentation is ZERO and aims at dragging the users to the site I believe! (You don’t need to dude. Your plugins are good enough! They will come by themselves.) All the author had to do was to add this in the instructions on the plugins admin panel: Drag and drop the widget. Add the plugin in the posts or pages using short code: [post-marquee] inside text view in editor Add directly in to the theme using PHP code: “<?php echo do_shortcode(‘ [post-marquee] ‘); ?>” Note: 1. The widget for this plugin is not visible at all in the widgets 2. shortcode spelling is wrong inside the plugin. it is [post-marguee]. I have updated the file. if you haven’t use [post-marguee].
