 * Hi WP Support,
 * Actually we have developed a plugin called (Image Optimizer)([https://wordpress.org/plugins/images-optimizer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/images-optimizer/)).
   As of now we have updating the plugin with additional modules.
 * And also we have planned to update the plugin Name from (Image Optimizer) to (
   Featured Image Optimizer) and even updated the description too. Also we have 
   updated in WordPress repository. But its raising issues for old user which are
   already installed the plugin in the name of Image. And also no more issues for
   new user who are installing this plugin as new.
 * For old users, when we click on the View Details its showing the another plugin
   which is called (Image Optimizer) ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-optimizer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-optimizer/)).
   So seems to be ‘s’ in the plugin slug varies in between these two plugins. Its
   working fine with ‘s'(plugin=images-optimizer) in plugin slug for new users. 
   But not working for old users and indexing the View details link without ‘s'(
   plugin=image-optimizer) in plugin slug. So its perfectly indexing to another 
   plugin with this slug(plugin=image-optimizer).
 * Thanks in Advance.

 * I don’t think you’ll like the answer, but you can ask the Plugins team via `plugins[
   at] wordpress.org` to be sure.
 * The old plugin has this as a slug `image-optimizer` with this URL.
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-optimizer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-optimizer/)
 * The new one you mean has `images-optimizer` as a slug (with an “s”).
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/images-optimizer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/images-optimizer/)
 * The slug is only one component and the 7 year old plugin got the name and slug
   first. Your plugin has a label of “Featured Image Optimizer” which is more descriptive
   so that’s really what your users should be searching for.
 * There’s no reason to change the old plugin. It’s a perfectly valid slug and the
   original author got it first.
