Biggest opportunity: Swap “elementor addons” for “grid post”. “elementor addons” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “grid post” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.2%
of downloads still active
At least 30K of 1.4M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,267 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 53 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Bu eklentiyi carousel ve grid için kullanıyordum hatayı farkedene kadar..Eklenti güzel ama carousel ve grid widgetlerinde query hatası var.. Eklenti query kısmını nasıl ayarlarsan ayarla menu ordera göre sıralıyor. Bu eklenti sahiplerinin sayesinde kendi widgetlerimi kodlamaya başladım.. Uğraşmayayım diye bu eklentiyi kullanıyordum ama menu order nedir yahu.. order date desc ayarlıyorsun.. elementorda doğru gösteriyor.. kaydedip view yapınca sıralama saçma..

I recently installed Ultimate Post Kit Pro on my WordPress site and I’m impressed. The plugin provides a wide range of versatile widgets and layout options that made building blog and magazine-style designs much easier and faster. The interface is intuitive and the responsive behaviour across devices is solid. Also the support team at BdThemes responded quickly when I had a minor question. Overall, this plugin delivered strong value and I’d recommend it to anyone wanting to upgrade their post layouts and page building experience.

If you’re running a blog, online magazine, or any kind of content-heavy site, Ultimate Post Kit is a game-changer. I discovered it while rebuilding a blog section and honestly? It instantly made my layouts look 10x better — without needing to mess with code or custom CSS. It gives you a ton of stylish, modern post widgets that feel way more refined than Elementor’s default options. Grids, carousels, sliders, timelines — everything is customizable and just works. You can finally break free from the boring “blog roll” look and give your readers something clean, dynamic, and engaging. What I love the most? It plays nicely with custom post types, works with almost any theme, and doesn’t bloat your site. The UI is smooth, the load time is fast, and updates have been solid so far. If you’re serious about content design and want your posts to actually stand out, Ultimate Post Kit is the plugin to grab.
