of downloads still active
At least 600 of 14.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,181 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| bundles your tag | #21 | #23 | down 7 |
| product bundles | #24 | #24 | down 4 |
| map your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| product your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| variation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Slipping on “bundles”. Down 7 places since 2026-09-20, now #21. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- “map”, “product” and “variation” 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.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

I contacted them over a month ago, still haven’t heard from them. It is unacceptable!!!My site has problems because of this plugin, I would like to have answers (positive or negative) Good morning, It’s now been over 8 months since I contacted support and left a review. Still no response from you… The v1.1.4 update did not improve the plugin? If you know of another plugin capable of linking variations to bundles I am interested. THANKS This topic was modified 2 years, 10 months ago by lucile0510.

I really hope Woocommerce won’t drop this plugin! It’s such a great extension of the Product Bundles plugin!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ shelleyweb4.3y ago
The plugin was awesome for awhile but support hasn’t answered inquiries in 6 months and now if you use this with downloadable products, it doesn’t give access to downloads, even when order complete.

Does exactly what it says, and very simple to use. It would have been great if it showed / respected stock though.

This is niche functionality, but if your client needs it, then this is invaluable. It’s intuitive and works just fine. Appreciate SomewhereWarm for maintaining this.
