Biggest opportunity: Swap “demo data” for “buzz”. “demo data” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “buzz” sits at #13 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 237.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 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.

    This is the worst people to do business with, I purchased this theme 2 months ago and they still have not helped me with the installation. They have so many rules in order not give you a refund. Yet take weeks to respond, on there refund policy it says they should get back within 2 days. It has been two months and still I cannot establish communication for them to get it up and running. Bottom line, if you have a business and will rely on sparkle themes products……. Stay Away save your time and money and look for something more reliable. Especially if you are looking for a business, you will lose money. I am looking to get in contact directly with wordpress to tell them about the lack of professionalism and unreliability of sparkle themes so they get banned from selling their products on word press. No one should go though this and this should be addressed and stopped.
