Biggest opportunity: “fix”, “sku” and “sku bug” 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.

1.6%

of downloads still active

At least 100 of 6.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,174 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

Directory rank

Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

    Did not fix this issue: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-or-duplicated-sku-2/#post-9862728 I assume it is just not the purpose of this plugin to fix issues that occur on import.

    After spending hours trying to figure out why sometimes CSV files with SKUs would import and other times they wouldn’t, I stumbled across this little plug-in and VOILA – problem SOLVED! Highly recommend this product!
