of downloads still active
At least 200 of 9.7K 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| wplr extension your tag | #2 | #2 | — |
| wplr sync your tag | #2 | #2 | 0 |
| lightroom your tag | #20 | #8 | down 2 |
| lightroom sync | #11 | #6 | 0 |

4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Under-ranked on “lightroom”. wp.org puts you #20; on merit you place #8. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.
- “assistant” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Pretty much appreciate the seamingless cooperation between the Lightroom plugin, the Photo Engine Plugin on WordPress side and like icing on the cake the WP/LR Theme Assistant plugin, which allows you to create even a post with the set of published images by Lightroom.
