Tag, Category, and Taxonomy Manager – Autotagger Automatically Add Terms

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   I am very grateful for this plug in. The feature I used most is to see all the tags in one place. That’s when I can choose tags when I just wrote a post.

   This plugin has A LOT of options and parts to figure out. I wanted to change the verbiage for “tags” to something else and after a lot of attempts…still shows Tags. I know this plugin is supposed to accomplish this, but it’s too complicated for me (21 years on WP).
