Biggest opportunity: “product rating”, “product review” and “review” 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 10 of 6.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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.

High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance 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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.39, well behind 6.8.

Directory rank

Ranked about #30,100 to #45,000, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

Rating trend

Star average over time · dips mark rough releases

4.21 Nov 2026

Update activity

Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

Release cadence

No release in a year

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

    I purchased the premium add-on but the premium part would not activate – everytime I clicked the activate button after entering the license key, nothing happened. I wrote to the plugin seller and they did not respond for three days. When they did they asked to have my site login details. I was not willing to provide this and so I reinstalled the plugin and downloaded some screen recording software. I recorded the problem and they still then would not offer a refund. Do not purchase the premium version of this plugin as if it does not work for your site then you will not be able to get a refund. Very poor business ethics. I am now left with a non-working product and have paid $29 for the privilege plus wasted five hours of my time.

    This plugin is fantastic. Reliable, Stable and the support from the developer was quick. I purchased the 5 site license (Best Deal) and could not be happier. Allows so much customization, options and the look is very professional. Highly recommend it!

    REVIEW UPDATE — The bug in the plugin causing some backend not working is now fixed. The product review generated in the article by this plugin is actually very good. My problems with the developer has been sorted now, though I believe there is still some works to do to make the plugin extensions properly functions. Good luck to the developer.
