of downloads still active
At least 300 of 3.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 863 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds 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 6 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.

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.

What to do about it
- One page off on “docx”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “document”, “formatting” and “import” 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 “post importer”. #3 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

This is just the plugin I needed for a project I have been working on for some time, where I have documents that need to be converted to posts so that we can use Relevanssi to search keyphrases and highlight them within the displayed results. The fact that it also retains formatting within documents, such as tables, is a brilliant addition – we have many tables within documents and recreating them manually would have been an absolute pain in the butt. So grateful these developers thought of this requirement. I highly recommend this plugin and would be happy to support the developers by buying them a coffee so that we can keep this amazing effort ongoing. Thanks guys – much appreciate your work!

I’ve used many tools to bring Word content into WordPress, but this plugin stands out. SmartDoc to Post Importer has drastically streamlined my workflow. Previously, I had to manually clean up messy <span> tags, fix formatting, and upload images one by one—an extremely frustrating and time-consuming process. With this plugin, it now takes just 2 minutes to import a full Word document. All formatting—bold, italic, headings, lists, tables—is preserved perfectly. What impressed me most is that images are automatically uploaded to the Media Library and placed exactly where they were in the document—no manual work needed. If you’re tired of copy-paste issues and endless formatting cleanup, this plugin is a game-changer. Highly recommended for bloggers, content teams, and documentation workflows.
