Biggest opportunity: “collaboration”, “project” and “project management” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 32.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 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.
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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| collaboration your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| project your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| project management your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| task your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| task discussion your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Gonzalone7.2y ago
Being able to make it compatible with Buddypress and that in turn the projects can be used within the groups seems to me to give a new dimension to the collaborative task, since it adds the option to edit in the frontend and also use all the possibilities of Buddypress for user management. For me it is an essential plugin. This topic was modified 6 years, 10 months ago by Gonzalone.

Hi, thanks for this plugin. I am using this plugin with buddypress. Its working good for me. Due date for task is not there, hence i have customised the code. Now i can use due date while task creation and task assignment. Attachment facility is not there in task comment. Is there any solution?

The plugin doesn’t work. It was installed based on the guidelines of the documentation and it didn’t provide the functions it should have provided. I was not able to create any projects. I didn’t even get to the task functions. The error seem to be based on bugs but due to lack of support, I am not able to use the theme as well. – review rating changed after issue resolution This topic was modified 9 years, 3 months ago by youngheearts.
