Biggest opportunity: Swap “mail” for “multiuser”. “mail” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “multiuser” sits at #19 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 700 of 11.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.
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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.6.30, well behind 6.8.

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 |

| mail system your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| mailers your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Hi guys We have problem with the wp_email automatic . this only happens when we install another plugin for HTML emails / wp better emails or email templates . if only the wp_simple email is installed , it sends only the correct email and 1 email per operation as soon we install another plugin, it sends 2 emails per operation, one correct and one extra titled no subject and it comes from [email protected] Beside the correct automated emails that an user should receive when making an operation on our website , they also receive an empty email from [email protected] I was wondering why is this ? we have setup the automatic email to be from [email protected], everything is good, but they received this empty email along with the correct emails. the title is no subject and the email is empty any idea how to solve this ?
