How it's measured →2.3%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 436.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 630 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Chat & Support plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “quick”, “faq shortcode” and “toggle” (#4, #11 and #15 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Very easy to use, professional design, thank you!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ elaborate1.7y ago
The plugin strikes the right balance between useful FAQ management features, like groups and customization options, and keeping the plugin light and simple to use. The resulting markup is simple enough that it’s straightfoward to customize.One feature I’m missing is an automatically-generated FAQPage schema for SEO purposes. It’s not trivial to create and maintain that manually, especially if you’re developing a site for an end user who won’t take the time to manually update the schema when changing FAQ content. Ideally, it would be a simple “set it and forget it” opt-in option.

Could be nice, lots of features but seems abandoned. Things are getting promised but never done. Pitty.

I am using custom developed theme with below code. <?php echo do_shortcode("[faqs style=toggle]"); ?> But I couldn’t see any css and script files related with this plugin in sources and there is no toggle also. Thanks. This topic was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by thantshweaung.
