Biggest opportunity: “post” and “post slug” 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.

At least 500 of 5.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.

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.

7 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “post” and “post slug” 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 “regenerate slugs”. #2 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Bulk edit posts and voilà
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Karthi2.6y ago
Do a bulk edit and update the required post type. Slugs will be updated.

This app is super-simple to use. The only reason people have downvoted it is because there is no clear tutorial. Using the app is simple. Activate, then update posts or pages. For instance, if you want to update the URL slugs for posts, go to the standard WordPress Posts page, select some posts (not too many – I did 100 at a time by viewing 100 posts per page and selecting all posts) and click ‘Bulk actions’ > ‘Edit’ > ‘Apply’. Then simply select update without needing to make any further changes. This will refresh the page and url slugs will be updated to match the post titles. Enjoy!

This plugin is awesome! It helped me a lot. At first, I was confused because I couldn’t find it after activating. But then I figured out it just does its thing quietly. You don’t have to do anything. When you change your product titles, the slug changes by itself. It’s like magic!

As Venaxis explained:Select all posts/pages/products that you want to regenerate the slug for and bulk edit them.Then just save and all of them regenerate based on their titles.It works like a charm, highly recommended!

Installed the plugin and there is no sign of it. No menu item, no notifications, I don’t see how to use this plugin. No instructions on the page either so I can only assume this doesn’t work anymore. This topic was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by dano1066.

Can’t give more than 1 star as the plugin is not working at all. Said updated 2 hours ago when I downloaded but still doesn’t hook into any WP menus. Not trying to be unfair, but when the plugin genuinely does nothing, it can’t get a rating.
