How it's measured →2.0%
of downloads still active
At least 50K of 2.4M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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 8 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “preview”, “look” and “facebook” (#4, #6 and #11 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Crossed into this band 2 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 50K.

Great plugin, fantastic support crew. Recommended.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ faglork9mo ago
We use dlvr.it to spread our articles across multiple social media accounts, and this plugin is perfect for supporting this job. The feature that makes it really invaluable for us is the distinction between the WP posts “featured image” and the image which gets submited to the socials (plus the default image which is sent when no image is selected). This lets us distinguish between images which are allowed to be published on social media and images with stricter copyright requirements. Since the standard WP feed cannot distinguish these cases we would be in permanent jeopardy by copyright holders – or we simply could not use featured images, which is impossible for an online daily newspaper. This plugin is a godsend!

Doesn’t work for showing facebook or twitter images. And the developer has apparently abandoned this plug in, looking for someone to sell it to.

If you only need twitter and facebook cards for your articles, this is the plugin you need install, Yoas allow this function in premium version so it’s great have this function free. Thanks Webdados (Marco Almeida), great work!
