Directory Listings WordPress plugin – uListing

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.

18 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 17 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 vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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 · 63% 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 15 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   El plugin está bastante bien y se puede personalizar bastante. Pero tiene problemas de funcionamiento en el filtro bastante graves. Desde hace más de 2 años que no lo solucionan.

   I’ve been fighting with this plugin for more than 2 years and I don’t know how my hair hasn’t fallen out…The issue of the plugin working in SPANISH is horrible, also if you have a multilingual website forget itIf you have to make a page solely and exclusively in English, you can do well, the menus are confusing and you can’t find things where they should be, but at least it does its job (now, because 2 years ago it didn’t even do that)

Looking to hear from developers’ suggestion. Thanks
