Biggest opportunity: “bulk plugin installation”, “favorite plugins” and “install multiple plugins” 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.
Install conversion
How it's measured →3.5%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 85K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,784 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.
Removal-risk signals
36/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Not actively maintained. No update in about 2 years.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.4.14.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| bulk plugin installation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| favorite plugins your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| install multiple plugins your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| multiple plugins your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| plugins your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

“Is this free? Yes, it’s totally free and it will remain free. No premium addons, or stuff will that will be added” …but the website lists the ability to use custom plugins as a premium subscription. So that was a lie.

At the first glance seems not as user friendly as WPCore. But I actually love this more, and here are the reasons: It supports working with WP favourites as saved at worpdress.org It supports CodeCanyon as a category in and of itself The free plugin list you can build is much more generous since you search by the plugin slug at wordpress.org, you can never be wrong and choose by mistake some other similarly named plugin (has happened to me with other similar tools) Overall, a HUGE time saver and works like a charm. Thank you so much!

I particularly like the sharing possibilities, allowing to manage collaborative lists. Add to that a reactive support 🙂 In short, I even wrote an article in French to promote this Plugin, that I also registered it in the Webmaster’s collaborative Trello This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by Laurent J.V. Dubois. This topic was modified 6 years, 6 months ago by Laurent J.V. Dubois. Reason: last little bug fixed, gain its 5 stars :)

Despite the warning of possible abandonment, this plugin works fine with WP 5.2.2

I couldn’t figure out why export resulted in a huge list of plugins. On the forums other users have asked for help with the same problem. Enough time has passed (2 months) with no response. Bummer. Plugin is good but this is a sign of abandonment.

You just create your FREE Account at WP Favs and then install only on plugin on your WordPress. The rest is up to WPFav Plugins Collection you may choose. That simple. I use this plugin to set up quickly most of my clients’ websites. Thank you, Author!
