Biggest opportunity: Add “social media aggregator” to your wp.org tags. You rank #23 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 2 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 3.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, well behind 7.1.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| social feed aggregation your tag | #16 | #17 | down 3 |
| social media aggregator | #23 | #23 | down 3 |
| social media your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “social media aggregator” to your wp.org tags. You rank #23 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 2 listed it's a slot worth spending.
- One page off on “social feed aggregation”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ 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

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

Just uploading this to my plugin directory got me an Internal Server Error. Out of date and broken.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ drahcirwalsh11.3y ago
The plugin provides little to no insight for newer users to get started. If I wasn’t already familiar with generating Apps and Tokens I would have had no clue what I was supposed to do to set up this plugin. The columns setting in the shortcode didn’t work, and the presentation of media is uncontrollable. Images span 100% by default, and no image captions are included from the original post. It looks as though I just created a static page and only loaded it with large images with awkward gaps between them. It also conflicts with the Featured Image module, so with the current version of WordPress and current version of this plugin you will not be able to define featured images for any content added after the installation of this plugin. I do not recommend using this until the developer improves the media containers, incorporates aspects of your active theme’s CSS and fixes the Featured Image conflict. There’s promise for a great plugin, and I look forward to being able to use it. At the moment, however, it’s more trouble than help and I do not feel comfortable using this resource on a website that I am delivering to clients. I will me more than happy to adjust my review when the developer releases the next version.
