Biggest opportunity: “automation”, “categories” and “tags” 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 90 of 45.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.
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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.1.28, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| automation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| categories your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tags your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| taxonomy your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “automation”, “categories” and “tags” 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.

Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “90+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band yesterday and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 90.

When you search plugins for a specific functionality and someone has something that does exactly it! It’s not content keywords to tags, it is exactly title to tags. Specific purpose makes it great.

It works perfectly for Blog Posts and ecommerce products. Tom was most helpful in clarifying a setting for me.

Only work with posts manually published When I use import plugin to create posts, this plugin does not work, I have to access all imported posts and click on update, if I do not, nothing happens. It does not perform the action in the act of creation of the post, but in the action of click update post, or publish post, should serve for the majority of people, but there are a lot that uses import plugins with post scheduling.

Such as if we upload image http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Yellow-Lambhorgini-Aventador.jpg after uploading the image and publishing the image can it be add Yellow, Lambhorgini, Aventador Also will it support multiple upload as well? Thanks
