Biggest opportunity: Swap “multiple sites” for “install”. “multiple sites” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “install” sits at #10 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 9K of 177.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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 3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| wpcore | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| plugin manager your tag | #9 | #18 | up 2 |
| install | #10 | #18 | 0 |
| bulk install your tag | #17 | #14 | down 1 |
| multiple sites your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

19 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 15 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Love this plugin – and when there was a recent bug the author was quick to fix it. Makes bulk installation of plugins easy as pie.

Love this plugin! I only use the free version and secretly wish it allowed up to 5 lists. But either way…thanks for making this! Also wish it could install themes as well.

It is always a pity when a once great product is left to fade away. It still works, but it is never wise to install a plugin that is so out-of-date. I wish I could find an alternative.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Tyler Tork5.7y ago
This plugin works by configuring the list of plugins on the developer’s website, which then provides a code you can enter in the plugin’s screen on your own website to retrieve the list. It is based on the tgmpa library, which contains a bug that causes an error message during some plugin installs, but the install still works so that’s just an irritant. The main problem is it’s difficult to configure the list of plugins on the developer’s website. The search function works very poorly, and the list of plugins is displayed in a space-wasting, unsorted way, making it hard to determine whether you have added all the plugins you need. There also doesn’t seem to be a distinction between plugins that should just be installed, versus installed and activated. Rather than a key to reference information on their website, it would actually be more convenient to have a field to paste in a list of the desired plugins. This is a bit too elaborate.
