7.1%

of downloads still active

At least 50K of 701.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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 3 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.

    Korzystam od paru lat i wchodzi ona w mój standardowy pakiet instalacyjny. Wiem, że mnóstwo osób w ogóle nie zwraca uwagi na pojedyncze znaki zostawione na końcu linijki, ale mnie to doprowadza do szału. Może dlatego, że pochodzę z czasów kiedy zwracało się uwagę na interpunkcję, składnię, i tym podobne rzeczy. Kiedy ludzie pisali stosując litery a nie obrazki… Z Themify Ultra działa bez zarzutu.
