Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin” for “column”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “column” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 700 of 21.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,194 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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.

I just want to say thank you to the creators of this plugin! I left my original review below and they addressed the issue I was having with an immediate fix. I have been using wordpress for almost 20 years now and this is probably the first time I’ve had a plugin author add/fix something based off feedback I left and at that, so quickly. This feature they added actually gives me so much time back while processing orders because I no longer have to open up each individual order to see the item that was purchased to package it. I don’t think I can thank you enough! Original Review——— I had a plugin by a different author that stopped working but it showed both the product and the variation when you clicked to show the items. This plugin is almost perfect but it does not show the product variation. I used this to streamline the orders I need to fulfill instead of having to click them open one by one to view the variation. This plugin would be perfect If I could do that unfortunately because it doesn’t also show the product variation it is useless for what I need it for. This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by missodessa. Reason: They deserve a better rating for great customer service!

great plugin, it works perfectly and its integration feels very native. Well done!

Thanks for this lightweight addon, love it loaded via Ajax
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Luke Cavanagh9.1y ago
I like the fact it uses AJAX on click of show items, so it does not increase the orders load time in wp-admin and does not increase the number of queries on load.

I’m glad that the function is back, is it possible to make items viewable by hovering?
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ keeneyemedia9.3y ago
This does exactly what you would want. Super clean, no fuss. Adds back in what you would expect core Woocommerce should’ve never removed. Thank you!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ woostripe9.4y ago
can’t believe it. this should be part of woocommerce core. you actually somehow managed to reduce the number of queries on my woocommerce > orders page (measured with query monitor) whilst adding this much-needed functionality. thanks for this mate.
