Biggest opportunity: “multilingual”, “page” and “post” 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.

How it's measured →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 50 of 10.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Multilingual plugin keeps 0.8%, across 280 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Multilingual plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.30, well behind 6.8.

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 |

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

I’ve been trying to understand how to use this plugin for about 2 years. But in the end, I always find it easier to write my own queries. The plugin is great for simple queries via the widget, but for anything complex, it seems additional layer of “know-how” is needed as to adapt standard queries to the plugin. This is true for the shortcode, template tag, or widget. Either that or I’m just missing something, and it’s not for lack of looking! It’s a frustrating irony because I know it’s supposed to make queries easier, not more complicated! Still, I do find the widgets easy and very useful.

Does exactly what I need, with a lot of parameters available to tweak the output the way you want it, especially all of the before/after parameters, which really gave me a chance to fine-tune the output. The way I use it is on the homepage of a site, which is a static page that only displays the latest post in a specific category. My only suggestion would be to list all of the parameters for the shortcode on the FAQ page with a description of what they do. For example, what are the from, to, expired, and userfunction parameters used for?

I’ve tried several plugins aiming to the same king of thing and this one is definitely the best to me. Would just be great if the post thumb (when a post has one) would show aligned left. Apart from that, Awsome ! Thank you !
