Biggest opportunity: “calculate discount”, “show discount” and “show product discount” 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.

of downloads still active

At least 100 of 6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 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

63/100

Maintenance 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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.39, well behind 7.1.

Directory rank

Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

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.

    I was looking for a plugin to show discount on the product. This plugin is awesome which has a feature as expected. Also, recently while upgrading to 4.7.3, there is an issue and the team solved it immediately after reporting. Congrats to the team. Keep updating the features.

    Hello, I’m using your plugin. It is great but there are 1 little problem. It work perfectly when I add simple product. But once I add variable product this error appear when I publish product:- Fatal error: Call to a member function is_on_sale() on boolean in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/wp-content/plugins/woo-show-product-discount/global/class-woo-show-product-discount-manager.php on line 57 And Yoast SEO title and description won’t save when I publish as variable product. Currently the only way I can save variable product is while saving Yoast SEO title and description is:- 1. Create simple product and add Yoast SEO title/description. 2. Publish as simple product. 3. Edit as variable product and update. Fatal error above still appear when you update but Yoast SEO title/description is saved and product is updated as variable. Please fix this. And I will rate 5. Thanks This topic was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by Deleted Account. This topic was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by Deleted Account.
