Biggest opportunity: “e commerce”, “ecommerce” and “frontend” 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 40 of 17.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,176 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, well behind 7.1.

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 |

Directory rank
Ranked about #21,400 to #22,800, alongside the other plugins at 40+ 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
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Установил этот заморыш, постоянно висит в админпанели вверху надоедливая строка, что мне нужно обязательно оплатить деньги за их плагин, который я установил как бесплатный. Вопрос к тем, кто его продает – если вы размещаете свои плагины в разделе бесплатных, то перестаньте надоедать и принуждать разными уловками хитрыми. Больше этот заморыш устанавливать не буду. Да и не обновляют они свою бесплатную версию. Тогда пусть вообще ее заберут отсюда.

Hello, I am from Norway and looking for possibility of this plugin in our store. Installed this free plugin to test it and found a small bug in code. While updating regular price you should use wc_format_decimal() before inserting new price in to DB. if user enters price like “39,99” thin intvalue() converts it to 39. This might be issue in Premium version also. Best Regards, Piyush Agrawal Lead Technical Advisor Tlf. +47 93 24 74 45 https://dinart.no Org. Nr. 915 894 968

I really like your plugin. We are running a donation site, so I don’t have the possibility of the paid version. If there was one thing I would want in the free version it is the ability to add/modify the Product Short Description.

I have been trying all kinds of plugins for front-end product management these days in my multi-vender woocommerce environment. None of them really met my specific requirements. All of sudden, I found this plugin. The way they design the frond-end product management is totally different and amazing. Two simple icons/buttons located on the product are so user friendly. The plugin make both front-end and backend product editing unbelievably easy. I just installed this free version of plugin and have not tested all the other features of it yet. But I can’t wait to share my excitement of finding this plugin. Amazing plugin, good design.
