Biggest opportunity: Swap “post to facebook” and “post to twitter” for “auto publish” and “publish”. “post to facebook” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “auto publish” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “post to twitter” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “publish” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 5K of 664.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.
This plugin shipped 5 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
- Swap “post to facebook” and “post to twitter” for “auto publish” and “publish”. “post to facebook” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “auto publish” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “post to twitter” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “publish” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

as the title says, it wouldn’t install and then wouldn’t delete from the plugin list. I don’t care what the mods say. This is a legitimate review
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ bgillingham9mo ago
I have been using this plugin as long as I can remember and I use it on all my sites because its ease of use. interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to use. and the setup process is very well documented even on the third party processes involved making the process as painless as possible. The documentation is always updated so when things change for a third party process it is updated on the plugins documentation ensuring following the documentation wont lead you astray or to a non existent page or menu option.

Good to share post automatically to hot social media. Even the initially setting consume time if you use your own app, but the setting is once in on social media. Then that’s all. Good to use.

Well, it’s not exactly “free”…. 😒
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ caert1.6y ago
Using the free version, I’ve found this plugin works perfectly well for my requirements. The instructions are clear and it is easy to set up. Creating an app on Facebook is actually more time consuming than configuring the plugin, which is of course not the developer’s problem.
