Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce”, “woocommerce products” and “woocommerce shop page” for “endless scroll”, “sort” and “endless”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “endless scroll” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce products” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “sort” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce shop page” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “endless” sits at #10 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 2K of 325.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,167 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 3 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “woocommerce”, “woocommerce products” and “woocommerce shop page” for “endless scroll”, “sort” and “endless”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “endless scroll” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce products” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “sort” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce shop page” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “endless” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “woocommerce product display”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

This thing is very bloated and full of bugs. Everything is turned on by default, and most things cant be turned off.. It is way too opinionated and adds a lot of styled elements, google fonts and other crap.. Avoid!

un plugin que te ayuda a organizar por categoria tus productos o servicios, este plugin en su version grautita es bueno pero en su version de paga tiene muchas opciones que de seguro nos ayudaran mas en el organizado de nuestros productos y descripciones.

When you search for plugins on your Worpdress site, there is a highlighted area that says if the plugin is compatible with your version of WordPress. It looks like this: “Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress.” Believe that warning. EXTRA EXCLAMATION !!!!!!!!! It is there for a reason. Lost one entire day going into cPanel WordPress files, that I should not have been going through,because of my skill level, but had to anyway, to clean the damage that this “Free” plugin caused. Thankfully I didn’t screw my site up.I was almost ready to contact my hosting company to “Nuke” my site back to GROUND ZERO. Site is still a mess.I need a cleanup plugin, but can’t find one that says it’s compatible with my version of WordPress. Mine is on automatic update. Sorry for the rant. But I love WordPress, and it’s a community, and I have to warn fellow WordPressers. Sorry for Rant. I’m really pissed I didn’t heed the warning,:( …OUT…

Uses h1 tags for all category title, which is poor seo practice. No templating system so developers can override this poor markup.

Its full-filling the purpose as describe 🙂 Thanks

I used this plugin for a while and also reported the errors. The plugin negatively affects the product search. I was able to repair it last time and also reported it in the support forum. My report was not answered and after the last update the error appeared once again and I am not able to repair it anymore. Also for SEO this plugin is not good as it causes to many H1 tags. It has nothing to do with the theme as I use storefront theme which is fine. I will look for another plugin. This topic was modified 8 years, 11 months ago by Webcrashpilot.
