0.8%

of downloads still active

At least 1K of 131.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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 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.

Keyword	wp.org	On merit	wp.org move, 90 days
resume your tag	#1	#2	0
resumes your tag	#2	#3	up 1
resume page	#1	#2	0

experience your tag	Not in the top 24

9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

What to do about it

Slipping on “education”. Down 5 places since 2026-09-18, now #22. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
“experience” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

This is a brilliant Resume plugin, (don’t listen to other 1 star reviews complaining it doesn’t have xyz features). It creates a very professional and slick-looking resume and whilst it would be good if it also had in-built ability to print resumes or save as pdf etc, you can work around this by simply adding/inserting those features into the Resume page via a plugin or shortcode (…I tried many pdf generators but they were not so good, I found the best output was by using the print function button within the “Add to Any” social sharing plugin, which I already use (…when you press the print button you are given the option to print OR save as a pdf – and then you can just adjust the print settings to your needs and you end up with a PERFECT copy of your resume in a few seconds). I hope the developer will release a premium front-end version for SaaS, as he has mentioned in past comments, as I’m sure many would purchase it. But regardless, thank you for providing this excellent plugin to the community.

I purchased my domain many years ago, but it mostly just parked. I finally decided to use it as a resume landing page that I could point people to should a conversation occur surrounding job prospects. In the matter of a night or two, I built my site and replicated my print resume for the web. It looks great, is fast, easy to manage, and has paid off. I have sent recruiters to it and it has actually lead to two different jobs, since setting it all up.

Hello! Thank you for the plugin! Very useful functionality! 🙂 I had a problem with the new version of the plugin. The tabs “Text” and “Visual” don’t work (text box). I created a new resume, but always active tab “Visual”, in the text field is entered in white letters. WordPress version – 4.3.1.
