Biggest opportunity: Swap “product gallery” and “product table” for “product category slider” and “featured slider”. “product gallery” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “product category slider” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “product table” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “featured slider” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

2.1%

of downloads still active

At least 20K of 965.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,318 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media 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 7 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.

    Disappointed with the support team’s handling of their recent security compromise. The official ShapedPlugin documentation explicitly warns users that updating the plugin will NOT clean up backdoors left by the compromised version (3.5.2) and that the full 13-step security checklist must be followed. However, when opening a ticket to get the assistance promised in the advisory, the support agent, who was evidently copying and pasting replies as they couldnt even get my name correct – gave me a generic brush-off, stating that because I updated, my site was “fully secure now.” This completely contradicts their own incident response protocol and puts user sites at risk. Bad technical communication during a critical security event. They also didn’t inform their customers of a severe breach until 2nd July – when they were notified on 11th June, as well as 15th June by Wordfence. Lost all confidence in ShapedPlugin LLC. This topic was modified 2 weeks, 3 days ago by GOT1878.
