Biggest opportunity: “post”, “posts” and “shortcode” 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 30 of 6.3K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,191 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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

63/100

Maintenance 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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, well behind 6.8.

Directory rank

Ranked about #23,100 to #25,000, 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 1 Nov 2026.

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

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

    You my friend are a great help! A god! Since I am not comfortable adding a recent posts page with PHP by myself, I found this plugin did the trick! All I did was install it.. Create a WordPress page… Add the shortcode, and BAM instant recent posts page. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I will add that the shortcode is a little hard to find after just installing the plugin (I had to visit the webpage to find it). Also if you want to customize the layout of the posts you need to be a little comfortable with CSS. I managed to make a grid style layout no problem at all! Thank again!!!

    This one of the only plugins I could find that would do what I wanted it to do. I wanted the most popular posts but in a page not in a widget. This plugin allows you to do both! I had a few configuration issues that were really my own fault and the developer was responsive and helpful. Now everything is working just like I want and the plugin is excellent.

    It’s a simple plugin, easy to use and easy to adapt to whatever needs you have. You can change the settings and use different settings with different shortcodes – and still be able to override them in the shortcode at the page! This is exactly the kind of versatility I miss in most plugins! But there are a few things that could be improved: Shortcodes Since you can enable the shortcodes manually they should be displayed along the option – people don’t want to go back to the plugin-site everytime they need it. It would also emphasize the fact that each shortcode have its own section of settings. Title If you write nothing in the text-box, the default title will be displayed. Which is confusing. Empty title-text-box should mean empty-title-field. If there is a default title, it should be in the text-box when you start, and if you remove it the title should be blank. Or give an option to enable/disable title. Link to post I use the shortcode to display recent posts with an excerpt. And it all works good except that after the excerpt there are two links to the post, one that say ‘Continue reading →'(or just ‘Continue’ if the excerpt is long) and right after it a link that say ‘[more]’ Easy enough to hide one with css – but unnecessary… And it would be nice to be able to change the text in the Settings-page. Show post I want to be able to show the whole posts! As it is now I can choose to show just the title or the title + excerpt, but I also want the option title + post. I really hope you’ll continue with this plugin! And I’ll most definitely will check out your other plugins as well!
