of downloads still active
At least 200 of 9.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →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.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| delete orders your tag | #12 | #20 | down 2 |
| bulk delete your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| orders your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “delete orders”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “bulk delete” and “orders” 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.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

Not worth a second of your time.

It works. I used it on a staging site with wordpress 5.6.2, woo 5.0.0 and php 8.

Just installed the plugin exactly as described. (I need to delete all orders from my staging site in order to give access to externals). I found the button to delete all orders in the woocommerce -> status -> tools section. So there I clicked the button, but “0 orders werde deleted”, although there are about 10.000 orders in my staging site (this is also why I need a plugin to delete them). I first thought it may happen because the site was in maintenance mode, I deactivated the maintenance mode, deleted the cache, transients etc. and then tried again: “0 orders were deleted”. As there are no options or anything where I can see why the plugin didn’t work on my staging site (there is also no log), I stand helpless. Will deinstall it.

Works absolutely fine even with Woocommerce 4.8.0 We use it to delete all orders after copying a production environment to a sandbox or development environment.

Just tried on Staging site and it didn’t do jack. I’d be weary of anything not updated in the last few weeks. 12 months on this one. Not good folks.

I used the staging plugin everyone uses to create a staging site. I installed this on the staging site. The option to use this plugin was not even on the live site. I deleted all orders, and all the orders from the live site deleted. I guess its because the staging plugin uses the same database, but it should at least be using the correct DB prefix so as not to touch other installations.

This plugin is useless if you want to remove orders and all their data from the database. The orders disappear from the dashboard, all right. But all their data is still in the database!
