Biggest opportunity: Swap “terms” for “association”. “terms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “association” sits at #9 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 500 of 10.4K 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.
This plugin shipped 2 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 “terms” for “association”. “terms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “association” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Exactly what I needed to get things done easily, fast, and trouble-free. Thank you!!

Does what it says, it simply worked, and perfectly. Even untested with current WP version. This deserves better than a few three year old reviews. Thank you!

You can spend a lot of time and money looking for the right plugin to do the job you want. Look no further, this is the simplest and most effective plugin and its free! I am using it with ListinPro and helps massively in copying categories to tags, making the business directory very very searchable.

Works as intended. Used to move custom taxonomy terms from old “Simple Taxonomy”-taxonomies to new “Custom Post Type UI”-taxonomies. Hierarchichal taxonomies child terms become top-level terms in the new taxonomy. Thanks !!!
