Biggest opportunity: “content”, “image” and “resize” 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.

How it's measured →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 80 of 7.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,786 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
63/100Maintenance 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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.3.34, well behind 7.1.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| content your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| image your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| resize your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| size your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| sizes your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Thank you for this!!! After switching themes, all my images displayed a blank ‘custom size,’ showing only the ALT text during the post. Thanks to this plugin, I was able to convert all images with a width of 1024 to ‘full’ and they’re all good now. Thank You!

What a simple and effective plugin to get the job done. I was able to replace old Image Sizes to the New Image sizes with one click. And before changing the sizes, it gave me preview for all OLD image html tags and the new tags will be… Thank you so much for the great plugin! Great work Pau Iglesias!

Tested on wordpress 4.5.3 with over 570 articles and it works great! Enormous time savings!

I’ve changed the size of the image on my theme quite a few time. A few plugin allow you to resize your image, but you have to edit all your post to replace the image with the new size. I used to do that directly in the SQL database, but this plugin provides a much better and simpler alternative. This only improvement that I could suggest would be to display the image not in their full size which end up larger than my display size. It would be more convenient if the image was scaled down.

After I’ve rebuilt all the thumbnail I suddenly remembered that I was using different image size till 2013 and all older posts now appeared with no images. And we are talking about 500+ posts with 3,000+ images. Surprisingly it took me only 5 minutes to fix the issue, 4 of them I spent finding this plugin. Second time it came handy the very next day when I found out that rebuilding thumbnails also changed dimensions on some non-standard aspect ratios (e.g. was 960×633 and became 960×632) due to using different image resizing engine. And once again, fixing it was a blast. Worked great on the latest WP version even though the plugin hasn’t been updated for 2 years.

Needed to change the post image sizes after a theme change. This plugin really helped. Thanks.

It replaced all images in a post with the first image in the post… while this is very artsy, it’s not helpful. Seems to be severely broken with WP 3.6

Was doing a remake of a clients website and found out that all of the image dimensions in the content also needed to be changed. Great plugin!!
