 The active installations number on plugins installation page doesn't match
 to the exact number that shows on the WordPress.org plugin page.

 For example, the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ WordPress.org plugins
 directory] shows 5+ million active installations for Yoast SEO plugin. So,
 does the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ WordPress.org
 plugin page for Yoast SEO].

 However, when installing Yoast SEO ''(it is not specific to Yoast SEO and
 occurs with all popular plugins)'' from WordPress dashboard, the active
 installations number shows 1+ million instead of 5+ million.

 The active installations number for plugins should match in all places to
 avoid confusions and find the exact installations number.
