Biggest opportunity: “custom post type”, “directions” and “easy map” 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.

How it's measured →0.2%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 4.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| custom post type your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| directions your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| easy map your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| google your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| map your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

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

Wish I found this plugin earlier, would have saved me a whole lot of time
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ holgerhubbs10.8y ago
The first impression is good. I am using <?php echo do_shortcode('[WMM]'); ?> in my theme file to avoid that the map appears twice. A global setting for the default, “Show Map: do not append” would be helpful. Driving directions would add value. Thank you! pacificgrove.directory/1172/birds-view-carmel-ribera-beach
