Biggest opportunity: Swap “hide title” for “title remover”. “hide title” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “title remover” sits at #10 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 70K of 1.1M 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.
Removal-risk signals

- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.21.

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 |

| title remover | #10 | #3 | down 1 |
| hide title your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Just installed plugin Nov 2022, and though it installs and looks operational, it does exactly nothing as far as I can tell. Using WordPress 6.1.1. Too bad — I really could use this shortcut plug-in for a cumbersome CSS task! This topic was modified 3 years, 7 months ago by tompaq. This topic was modified 3 years, 7 months ago by tompaq.

I’d just like to echo what others have said. This plugin just works (whereas others promising the same, don’t seem to). If your theme doesn’t have this functionality built in, I’d recommend this as an essential install.

Boy is this a good plugin!

Using WordPress 5.7.2 with the Twenty-Twenty theme, I can use the plugin and it does work but does not reclaim any of the vertical screen real-estate that the H1 tag takes up, so the net effect is the same as just editing the title to “” and not having the plugin at all. Of course this may work better with a different theme.
