Biggest opportunity: “add post to csv”, “csv” and “csv file” 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 200 of 17K 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| add post to csv your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| csv your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| csv file your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ joeyjosay5.3y ago
Adds tons of random characters, adds all data to one column, if you change to ; delimited it still breaks post content to different lines. not useful
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ the.promenader10.6y ago
One of the few wordpress export-to-csv plugins that treats media and media attachment pages. Bravo!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ finefin12.5y ago
This exports some standard fields like post title and author, but no custom fields. Export works fine but is not enough for my purposes.
