Biggest opportunity: Add “stick” and “gutenberg editor” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6 and #13 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 8K of 50.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,578 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks 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 1 release 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.

Does exactly what it’s supposed to. Good support, great features.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ alstrar4.9y ago
Edit: I went for the everything sticky that main one by the same dev and it worked. However I later decided not to use sticky on my site anyways. (Old review) I’d say this works in all things except one, it’s not on top and when I scroll down it fades behind many of the other things displayed on the site configuration that I currently run. It was so close to perfection. I would have put five stars but for this I give three. This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by alstrar.
