of downloads still active
At least 100 of 5.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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 |
|---|---|---|---|

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

Hey! a Dictionary plug-in that works out of the box, plus you don’t _have_ to use those dang blocks. I am also happy that basic WordPress items are not paywalled, like the featured image. I tried another plug-in and everything was paywalled, like basic WP stuff. I was also pleasantly surprised with the search function. I am trying to do more of a translation dictionary, so I was worried about the title (the English word) being to dominate over the Comanche word, but the search will look into the body of the post to search the Comanche words too. It looks like I can post audio clips in too without any paywall lock. This saved me the time of having to make a custom post type. Thank you. I think I have a winner for Dictionary plug-ins. 🙂 This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by ellice909.

It’s a very useful plugin and looks good. Also, the developer is helpful.

Great work, thanks to the author! The plugin is easy to configure and works perfectly out of the box. It is a pity, of course, that it was not updated more than a year ago, but this does not prevent it from working correctly even in November 2020. Thank you so much for developing it!

Вроде бы простой и легкий, работает за счет произвольных постов, но… 1) нет ссылки на быстрый просмотр из админпанели. 2) нет настройки url для главной рубрики и терминов 3) вообще не работает на 5.1.1
