Travel Search

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #23,000 to #24,800, alongside the other plugins at 30+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 19 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 30.

At the current install trend, crossing 40+ in roughly 268 days.

   1st: The plugin does not work. You enter the search information and click “Compare Prices” button and it just resets the form. No search. 2. They do not support the plugin. Look at the 5 star (!!) review from Travelgrove on here – They outright say they aren’t going to support the plugin for their own service. 3. Their affiliate website is completely broken, and has no CSS. (As of this writing) 4. The only things that do work on their website are their own affiliate links to outside websites like Travelocity and Expedia… and my own affiliate code was not included in that link, so basically, I think this plugin is a scam to up their own affiliate revenue and nothing for me. They require an incredible amount of personal information to sign up to be an affiliate, which is perfectly acceptable. However I should have checked out this plugin before I provided it. I went into my account and “scrambled” all my info because I’m concerned it’s in the hands of dishonest people now. I uninstalled it.

   Dear All, A few notes from Travelgrove’s End – since we are extremely busy nowadays support for this plugin is rather limited or paused. The plugin should usually work perfectly and it does with common WordPress istallations – if it does not that denotes a conflict with theme or other plugins which we might not be able to track down one by one. Regarding personal information, that’s a must for all of our partners and it’s also common business standard and practice. Regarding declined publishers, our geographical target is the United States, so sits not falling under that condition might be declined. Best Regards, The Travelgrove Team.

   I am sure this works well but the compare button does not work and what good is that if that doesn’t work. Plus who si getting the revenue when the consumer buys a ticket from the travel website? Plus you have to give this travelgrove personal information to join. Has anyone made money off of this?

   This is a great plugin that fills a real need. We had some problems getting it to work due to issues with our site, and Travel Search staff was incredibly helpful in tracking down the problem for us. Highly recommended!
