of downloads still active
At least 4K of 238.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,782 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.

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 |

| republishing your tag | #5 | #4 | down 1 |
| republish your tag | #8 | #7 | down 1 |

16 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 8 listed. 8 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “repost”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “old post” and “old posts” 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.

Bought this plugin 9 days ago. Impossible to link with my FB account. Sent three messages to the helpdesk during the last 9 days ago and nobody came back to me. Unacceptable ! This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by jmterrel.

A great Plugin which does it’s job smoothly and without complications. Implementation ist really easy and really nice to handle. You have Settings for default or manually for seperate tasks. The schedule works correct every time when cron is triggered. This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by auricherz.
