Biggest opportunity: Swap “notifications” and “broadcast” for “autoresponder” and “autoresponders”. “notifications” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “autoresponder” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “broadcast” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “autoresponders” sits at #7 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 →0.6%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 85.3K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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.
This plugin shipped 3 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 “notifications” and “broadcast” for “autoresponder” and “autoresponders”. “notifications” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “autoresponder” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “broadcast” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “autoresponders” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “broadcast”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Плагин был изгнан с английского wordpressa выдаче в версии 3.6.3 в файле guetebberg.js был спрятан адрес дополнительной отправки логина получателя “вкусняшки” которую настраивали на сайте. что еще не могу найти и ИИ видит что вставлены коды, а отправку перехватить ума не хватает. Так что вы, как минимум поможете автору плагина собрать базу русских пользователей.

Nice plugin, easy to use and easy to configure. For someone the functions won’t be enough, but for a little WordPress-Page perfectly good. The bot function with automatic replies is perfect. But I stopped using because of problems with the plugin Einsatzverwaltung. The telegram message was posted two times all the time. This topic was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by Jan.

2+ Star for the fact that the plugin exists and in some places it performs its functions, for which I am grateful to the author since I did not find such a plugin 3- Minus for the fact that the author of the plugin does not help solve problems and is not responsible! The functions that are stated do not work! There are no updates and no support
