Install conversion
How it's measured →3.4%
of downloads still active
At least 40K of 1.2M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,322 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media 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.

59 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 53 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “media”, “page” and “post” 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.
- Already on top for “reveal” and “ids”. #1 and #2 without listing them. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

It works fine in Woocommerce

Thank you for this plugin! Having to do quite a bit of custom code pointing at specific pages via id, it is nice to have my code in one browser window, with pages from WP Dashboard in another, so I can quickly ensure my IDs are correct! Thank you! This topic was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by Richard Benton G4WKW. Reason: typo

I am using WP Show Post which allows you a lot of control using post id’s. This plugin makes life easy, adds post id to the posts lists. One of life’s essential backend plugins.

I would like to have an option to display the ID at the start of the row.

I needed not just to see the post IDs, but to sort by them. Reveal IDs did it perfectly. Exactly what I needed.
