Biggest opportunity: Swap “log” and “logging” for “wordpress mu” and “php errors”. “log” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress mu” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “logging” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “php errors” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.0%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 987.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,767 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 4 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “log” and “logging” for “wordpress mu” and “php errors”. “log” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress mu” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “logging” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “php errors” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

I’ve been using Sentry for quite some time and it’s great to finally use it for WordPress as well. The plugin is well built and easy to configure. I really like that it also supports JS monitoring and that many constants can be fine-tuned during setup. Solid work!

Very easy to set up and all your errors automatically get tracked by Sentry.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ druut3.3y ago
This plugin is super easy to use. Sentry allows us to have so much more insight into exceptions/errors occurring. And the plugin is open source!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ LeTraceurSnork3.7y ago
Just one thing – it would be much more convenient if you could set up the variables inside admin-panel instead of editing wp-config file (especially in case when you don’t have one in your repository due to Docker-based installation)
