Biggest opportunity: “bridge”, “integration” and “the next generation” 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 100 of 19.5K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| tng your tag | #3 | #5 | 0 |
| genealogy your tag | #20 | #23 | down 1 |
| bridge your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| integration your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| the next generation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

It did not work for me as i have follow the documentation instruction. But had no luck with this plugin.

TNG fonctionne très bien mais l’intégration avec le plugin ne fonctionne pas du tout. J’ai tout essayer. J’espère qu’il sera mis à jour bientôt et que le soucis sera réglé.

I’ve bought and installed the latest TNG (currently 13.1) and tried to integrate this on my (Wordress-)website by using this plugin. All settings are OK in the TNG-area on wordpress and I’ve read the instructions, but there is no way I’ve got this working. Tried it many times and have updated the plugin multiple times since it was installed. Very bad…

Tried to install this plugin a few times. But don’t get him working. The TNG Software is good! Satisfied user. But the integration with WordPress needs to be better.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ rbirkey8.8y ago
This plugin is out of date and does not work well enough to be included in the WordPress library. Although it will yet allow your WordPress site to connect with your TNG installation, it will not display that content properly in all WordPress themes and common setups. It is buggy and in need of major work. This is a huge disappointment if you have invested in the TNG software for your genealogy website. I can’t recommend this plugin.

I’ve used TNG for over a year and love it! Needed more capacity for story telling, so decided to use WordPress with TNG integration. WordPress was easy, but I spent 3 days trying to make this plug-in work, and finally gave up. It seems to work (barely) with very few TNG template/WP theme combinations. Followed instructions from multiple posters, with mixed results. It also seems like you can accomplish as much (more easily) without the plug-in.

This plug in doesn’t do what it needs to do the page is not shown at all en the hole site goes blank. It Suks!

This plugin works with TNG 10.1 and TNG 11 to show your genealogy data in a WordPress page so that you can retain the look and feel of your WordPress site through your TNG genealogy data site as well.
