Biggest opportunity: “shortcodes” and “woocommerce” 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 10K of 261.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,142 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| shortcodes your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “shortcodes” and “woocommerce” 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.

Release cadence

It appears that the developers have moved on to other WooCommerce projects. This plugin should be removed from the repository.

I’ve been working on this site but couldn’t figure out ho to change the 🤬 button colors. Find this, install and activate it, go to change the colors and it works. But it broke almost everything else on the page! I disabled the plugin and my pages are still broken! WooCommerce, This sucks.

This is simple and does what is says, which is a basic web color change that I needed on some cart buttons to blend with my theme colors. I have not had any conflicts or issues on woocommerce with Customizr theme, but glad to see it was updated a while ago. I hope this is updated more often.
