Biggest opportunity: Swap “donation”, “payment form” and “payment gateway” for “stablecoin”, “usdt” and “usdc”. “donation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “stablecoin” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payment form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “usdt” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payment gateway” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “usdc” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.8%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 32.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,042 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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 1 release 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.

The plugin stopped working on PHP 8. It gave this error: Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, string given in /…./…./…/wp-content/plugins/rave-payment-forms/includes/rave-shortcode.php In PHP8.0, it’s compulsory to define types on Count. count((array)$XYZVariable); Bearing that in mind, I fixed that by editing: Line 120 'extra_count' => count((array)$extra_fields), // I added (array) Line 136 if(count((array)$extra_fields) != 0){ // I added (array) Flutterwave team, please update the plugin as soon as possible.
