Biggest opportunity: Swap “stock notification” for “mandrill”. “stock notification” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mandrill” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 261.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,295 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing 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 11 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.

ok, my initial review was “it simply doesn’t work”, but with help of chatGPT and 4h of dedication i managed to fix this.Just add this code as a snippet: function trigger_yith_waitlist_emails_for_all_products( $product_id ) { $product = wc_get_product( $product_id ); if ( $product && $product->is_in_stock() ) { YITH_WCWTL_Mailer()->schedule_email_send( $product ); error_log('Scheduled YITH Waitlist Email for Product ID ' . $product_id); }}add_action( 'woocommerce_product_set_stock_status', 'trigger_yith_waitlist_emails_for_all_products', 10, 1 ); This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by m-zurowski.
