Biggest opportunity: Swap “remove product category” and “woocommerce” for “slugs” and “slug”. “remove product category” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “slugs” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “slug” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 40K of 711.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,155 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.
This plugin shipped 11 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.

Плагин позволяет привести ссылки к следующему виду:Страница магазина: название-сайта.ru/shopСтраница категории: название-сайта.ru/название категории – тут куда-то девается shop(главная страница магазина) что уже ломает нормальную структуру ссылокСтраница товара: название-сайта.ru/название категории/название-товара – тут такая же беда. Мало того что плагин абсолютно бесполезен, так еще и бесячая реклама в админке показывается. Жаль нельзя поставить 0 звезд… This topic was modified 1 month, 2 weeks ago by krakanosh.

I think this plugin is way too overpriced and to top it off you cant test most of the plugins features to see if its compatible with your setup until you pay. I found another plugin that does the same thing for free.

I have been a loyal user of the Premmerce Permalink Manager for WooCommerce plugin for quite some time and, until recently, had been quite pleased with its performance. However, my recent experience has left me disappointed and frustrated, prompting me to reconsider my choice. The primary issue revolves around the plugin’s lack of compatibility with the latest WooCommerce HPOS update. In my attempts to keep my site up to date and take advantage of the promised improvements in speed, user experience, and security, I found myself at a crossroads. Despite reaching out to the support team, my inquiries about a potential update or timeline for compatibility with HPOS were met with silence. This lack of responsiveness and transparency from the developers is disheartening. As a user, I rely on timely updates and clear communication about the plugin’s roadmap. Unfortunately, the absence of information regarding compatibility with crucial WooCommerce updates has left me with no choice but to explore alternative solutions. While the Premmerce Permalink Manager did serve its purpose well in the past, the current situation has forced me to reevaluate its effectiveness. A plugin that fails to adapt to the latest industry standards and lacks a clear roadmap for future compatibility raises concerns about its long-term viability. In conclusion, the Premmerce Permalink Manager for WooCommerce falls short when it comes to keeping up with the latest WooCommerce updates. For users like myself, who value staying current with industry advancements, this plugin’s lack of responsiveness has become a significant drawback. I am now actively searching for alternatives that can provide the necessary compatibility and support for my evolving e-commerce needs. This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by fmdonini.
