How it's measured →2.0%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 4.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 867 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds 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.

I had used the custom code that the author shared on a blog a few years back. Came across an issue (all posts were showing instead of a select few) and realized that author had fixed the issue and had a plugin for it. So, I replaced the code with the plugin. Thank you!
