of downloads still active
At least 8K of 723.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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.
This plugin shipped 2 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| print your tag | #1 | #1 | up 1 |
| print link your tag | #1 | #1 | up 1 |
| print button your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| print version | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| printable your tag | #4 | #5 | 0 |
| add print button | #2 | #2 | 0 |
| printer your tag | #7 | #6 | down 1 |
| print page | #3 | #3 | 0 |

| printing | #18 | #13 | down 2 |
36 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 10 listed. 26 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).
What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “printing” (#18 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

WP-Print is a nice plugin, very easy to use. I encounter a problem when printing your special ‘print webpage’. Your webpage is always printed in black and white even the page has colored contents. Any idea? Many thanks!

If you dont need complicated functions and understand some of css, its your plugin. Love it, thank you.

I installed the plugin, then went to the configuration and was able to configure the plug-in. Tried not installing the PHP on every page as per instructions, and only adding the shortcode. That process seemed to work fine, the button appears and shows the text print. But when I click it, it tries to visit <domain>/<path/to/post>/post/print Since /print is not a valid page, I assume this is something the plugin should fix, but instead it shows 404.

404 instead of printing.

I know that we can set this manually by using a Custom Print Text Link Style, but the plugin by code should automatically do it, or simply have a checkbox for it in the settings page, as my end users are not that bright to even copy paste the code that I give them! Other than that, this could be a 5 star plugin, a job almost perfectly done. Thanks, Nick

Simple but great and sound. I use it for over seven years and it is just doing his job. Egyszerű, de nagyszerű és megbízható. Több mint hét éve használom, és csak teszi a dolgát.
