Biggest opportunity: “category”, “taxonomy list” and “taxonomy list plugin” 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 500 of 10.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| category your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| taxonomy list your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| taxonomy list plugin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| taxonomy list shortcode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| taxonomy plugin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Great little plugin, exactly what I was looking for.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ yellink4.5y ago
Works well, specially when we work in FSE, and the query loop block is not displaying custom taxonomies. So i use it as a second menu on an custom post archives template, without the complexity of adding any gutenberg addons From my Pov there is still little improvments before rating 5 stars : > like when there is no image or no description, i’d rather not see that in the source code: <div class="tax-image"> <img src="" width="50"> </div>...... <div class="tax-desc"></div> > i think the css should be simplified, with the flexbox properties and avoiding any float positionning. For the rest, did not test for other functionality than its name supposed : list custom taxonomy This topic was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by yellink.

Great way to show call my custom taxonomy as an organized, ordered list. My favorite feature is the little search bar. For a site with a lot of taxonomy it makes my list so much more usable.

The plugin works great. If you have any questions, the plugin creator helps you in any way and makes things easier for you. Thank you Muhammad Rehman

I have been buggering around for hours trying to solve this. Then found this plugin. quick and easy… thank you (and thanks for your exaple shortcode- worked perfectly).
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Old Desert Lizard5.1y ago
I installed this and entered the short code… and it worked! I created my first non-trivial custom post type with a couple of taxonomies, one with many entries. I wanted to create a simple page that listed the taxonomies and provided links for each that would display the archive of posts with the selected taxonomy. I’ve been doing web site maintenance for years, and I _hate_ having to delve into the php just to get something simple done. This was easy!
