Biggest opportunity: “coupons” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

0.5%

of downloads still active

At least 10 of 2.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,174 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, well behind 7.1.

Directory rank

Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ 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.

    Works ok if you only need 1 discount. Theere is one other problem that you have to manually enter each product ID into the settings page, one, by one, this can be a LOT of work, if you have a LARGE number of products. Support is also slow. Thanks.

  • ✓ Names what it works with Mentions WooCommerce.
