    Hello, I wonder how the positioning on https://wordpress.org/plugins/ works. Some of the plugins have almost no active installs and are on the top of the result. Do the tags/description affect on the positioning? Is it secret algorithm or is there well known way to make your plugins have better position on the list? Thanks in advance.

    I’m 99.994% sure it’s a curated list.

    is there well known way to make your plugins have better position on the list?

    I sincerely hope not! There’s already way too many authors who are (foolishly) using the WordPress.ORG plugin repo as a lead for more income.

    To paraphrase someone else, that is an amazingly breathtaking bad idea and anyone depending on reviews in the plugin repo as a business model is setting themselves up for failure.

    If your plugin shows up on that list, cool. If not then please just focus on producing good code that users will adopt. Plugins that solve problems for people will get used and become popular.
