Biggest opportunity: “template”, “tinymce” and “visual editor” 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 20K of 237.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.28, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| template your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tinymce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| visual editor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

I use TinyMCE Templates on almost all of my websites. It saves me so much time by allowing me to quickly insert reusable content blocks anywhere I need. The interface is simple, effective, and integrates perfectly with the editor. Thank you to the developer for creating such a powerful and easy-to-use tool. Definitely deserves 5 stars!

I’m pleased to say this plugin is still going strong with no effect on page load speed. 🙂 Inserts pre-defined text or shortcodes easily from the editor. It’s designed exactly as I had hoped.

This plugin makes creating simple or advanced content layout templates for content authors a breeze. As a developer I create the templates, apply the required CSS and JS and authors can easily select and adjust them without the need to prove their HTML/CSS skills. Thank you 🙂

This is a great plugin, but i can’t use it with ACF or ACF Repeater. The button does not appear above the ACF fields. I think the problem is the multiple content. You put a note to solve this, but the solution doesn’t work. I would be very glad, if you could solve this problem!!!
