Biggest opportunity: “business hours widget”, “business plugin” and “business widget” 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.

1.2%

of downloads still active

At least 50 of 4.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,186 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.7.41, well behind 6.8.

    I gave this plugin 1 star because there was multiple php errors upon installation. It is true that it may not be compatible with my theme, but there is some serious coding issues if it cannot even be activated without errors.

    Plugin aligns text to left and right appropriately and doesn’t center days of the week. Very easy to manage.

    I was looking for a plugin that I didn’t need to mess with the back end coding. This was it. It aligns the text nicely (doesn’t center the days of the week like others). Over all – perfect! 🙂
