Biggest opportunity: Swap “csv export”, “custom taxonomy” and “bulk import” for “import export”, “wordpress csv import” and “csv import export”. “csv export” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “import export” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom taxonomy” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “wordpress csv import” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “bulk import” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “csv import export” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →8.4%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 11.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 864 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds 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 7 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 “csv export”, “custom taxonomy” and “bulk import” for “import export”, “wordpress csv import” and “csv import export”. “csv export” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “import export” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom taxonomy” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “wordpress csv import” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “bulk import” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “csv import export” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “csv export”. Down 18 places since 2026-09-22, now #24. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “taxonomy”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Tony de la Riva5mo ago
Works like a dream with one click! I had a custom taxonomy (created with ACF Pro) with about 70 items on one site and needed to copy all of them over to a second site. This plugin literally allowed me to do that in less than 1 minute. Awesome, awesome plugin—best one like it in the WP world right now. Huge thanks to Md.Rakib Hossen for creating it and making it available. I hope this plugin takes off and gets 100k installations! This topic was modified 1 month, 2 weeks ago by Tony de la Riva.

This plugin makes managing taxonomies so much easier. Importing and exporting categories, tags, and even custom taxonomies with a simple CSV saves me a lot of time. The interface is straightforward — no complex setup, just install and start using.

I recently used this plugin, and I have to say—it works perfectly! Importing and exporting CSV files was smooth and hassle-free. Everything worked right away without any extra setup, which saved me a lot of time. The plugin is simple, easy to use, and does exactly what it promises. I was able to manage my site data quickly and without confusion. Honestly, it’s one of the most useful plugins I’ve tried, and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a straightforward solution for taxonomy CSV import/export.
