Biggest opportunity: Swap “accordion”, “responsive” and “shortcode” for “guitar”, “jquery tabs” and “wpautop”. “accordion” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “guitar” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “responsive” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “jquery tabs” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shortcode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wpautop” sits at #8 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 10K of 351.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ ChrisL12mo ago
Presentation is clean and implementation is relatively simple. But it would be even better if block functionality were introduced. Using [shortcodes] in the block editor feels antiquated.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ dinaddd3.8y ago
Using simple shortcodes to create a tabs. Too easy to setup and faster! In the setting, most of their features are not free, but I’m super happy with the default because it’s enough for what I need. Also, you can create your own design style in your child them or elsewhere.

Works great

Simple and enough to use.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Alessio Pellegrini4.1y ago
This is the best extension to create tabs directly from the page, super easy to use and customize with a little CSS.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ mkearns4.6y ago
Simple, effective and elegant. Does what it says it will and does it well. Only one very very minor point – it would be great if the shortcode had a parameter for an extra class, or for an id, to be added to the individual tab containers. Thank you for building this and releasing it for free. A beverage donation is on it’s way.
