Biggest opportunity: Swap “comment”, “counter” and “views” for “post reactions”, “reactive” and “most viewed”. “comment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “post reactions” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “counter” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “reactive” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “views” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “most viewed” sits at #11 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 →2.2%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 13.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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.
This plugin shipped 4 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “comment”, “counter” and “views” for “post reactions”, “reactive” and “most viewed”. “comment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “post reactions” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “counter” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “reactive” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “views” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “most viewed” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

The plugin is incredible… but I have a question, how can I delete/remove the reaction I just gave to a post or comment? is it possible?
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ riosengineer4.0y ago
This plugin is one of the best ones available on the WP platform. It’s sleek, simple and elegant. My pet peeve is the horrible large MSN style-emoji icons the other plugins tend to use whereas this one uses nice clean small emojis which is great. My only improvement suggestion would be to have an option so we can select if we want the reaction emojis to be at the start of a post and/or bottom, rather than just at the end of the post. These can sometimes be missed by viewers on longer articles & I feel better interactions if we could toggle top/bottom of pages.

good plugin for displaying page view count
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Billy Wilcosky6.5y ago
I like this because it allows one to react in many different ways in posts and comments. And it looks nice and doesn’t take up a lot of space. One issue though is if you turn on IP privacy, someone is able to react repeatedly. If improvements are considered, then I suggest the following: 1) Add an option to track by logged in user, and also that would mean only people logged in can use it. 2) That would solve the reacting over and over again but for those would want to allow visitors to react then there would have to be another way to prevent excessive reacting. Or, at least a warning that if you turn on IP obfuscation then people will be able to react over and over. 3) I hope you can one day add the ability to delete reactions. 4) A widget showing most reacted posts would be cool too.
