ACF YouTube Picker

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Most reviewers here are delighted with the field setup and the developer's fixes, though the newest review says it doesn't find videos and won't show ones already published.

   Doesn’t find any videos and already published video’s aren’t shown.

   EDIT: the bugs I mentioned below have since been fixed by its awesome, attentive developer. Much to the delight of everyone involved with the relevant project. Rating updated accordingly. Good plug-in, all-in-all. Usability-wise, there’s a lot of room for improvement. Setting up/configuring the new fields works nicely, but the result that the content moderators will be using is a little weird: if the field is set to be REQUIRED, it’ll see it as empty even when there’s already a video selected. It only checks the “search video”-field value. So every time you edit a post with this field in it, you have to put some letters in there in order to be allowed to press SAVE.
