Biggest opportunity: Swap “elementor”, “elementor addons” and “read more” for “text”, “expand” and “gradient”. “elementor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “text” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “elementor addons” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “expand” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “read more” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “gradient” sits at #18 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 →17%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 17.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,263 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ MaryMak5mo ago
Exactly what I needed. I’d love an option that would continue text on the same line but this is everything I can ask for in a free plugin. UPDATE: Removed one star just it doesn’t work within a loop carousel. Another person noted it didn’t work in a slider so there is likely a JS conflict. No reply to my support post after 2 weeks as well. This topic was modified 1 month ago by MaryMak. Reason: Review update

Easy to install and use, we find everything we need to configure the different points, the only thing missing is rounded corners on the image and perhaps a drop shadow. Congratulations to the developer.
