low volume, under 1,000 downloads a month

Biggest opportunity: “dislike”, “like” and “vote” 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.

1.1%

of downloads still active

At least 60 of 5.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,784 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.

    The plugin is very good, I would like it to be possible to choose custom images to use as a button and the possibility of showing the most voted posts.
