Biggest opportunity: “contact”, “microdata” and “microformats” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 9K of 85.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,667 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.34, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| contact your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| microdata your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| microformats your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| rich snippets your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| widget 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.

2 problems I run into: 1) the plugin injects wp-content/uploads/rc_geositemap.xml which doesn’t exit (returns 404). the author committed to fixing this issue more than a year ago, but it’s still there. this non-existing sitemap appears in sitemap_index.xml (created by yoast SEO, but the problem comes from this plugin, not yoast’s one). google webmaster tools reports this as a broken xml. Please fix. 2) once the rich snippet widget is created it’s confusing how to edit it. it keeps on selecting with “V” “Side Bar 1” even though I created it in Side Bar 2. Took some time to figure out how to get to edit the existing widget in side bar 2 and had to dump the automatically added empty Rich snippet widget to Side Bar 1. This part is not user-friendly, but can be figured out.

Added it, was super easy. (I dont have any special coding skills) I added all the possible contact info, and added the widget to my sidebar. Afterward, ran the post thru the google schema markup testing tool, and found all the correct schema for hcard, and my profession, embedded in the article. Good job
