Biggest opportunity: “custom post limits”, “limit author posts” and “limit number of posts” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 4.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.0.18.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| custom post limits your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| limit author posts your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| limit number of posts your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| limit posts your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| post creation limits your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
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.

Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ABCDiamond8.1y ago
I have just installed this and tested it, using a test author. I have it set for just ONE post being allowed. It accepted a 2nd post, and, as that author, I could see the post. I was not aware that it had not been accepted. But, when I looked as a non logged in user, the post wasn’t there. It appears to have done the job. As Admin, I found the 2nd post, in the list of posts, but it was marked as “limited” on the post status. Which was confusing, as I hadn’t seen that status before. I assume it is limited to only the author seeing it. BUT… as a non logged in user, if I click on the authors name, I can see both the posts by that author, including the “limited” one. Overall not bad, but can do with some improvements. For a Free plugin, that I can cope with, it’s OK. 3 or 4 stars from me.
