Activity Link Preview For BuddyPress

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 · 79% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Most reviewers are happy with what it does for free, though one couldn't get link previews working on BuddyBoss at all and another wants preview images hosted locally so they hold up on bigger sites.

   Thank you for making this and putting it out for free. It isn’t easy to find link preview features sometimes. Even if it has to be a pro/paid version, you might think about finding a way to have the link preview’s image uploaded to wp-content uploads and then served from there. I’m sure that’s not super easy to do, but in order for this to work consistently and work well on larger sites, the images need to get cached or hosted within the same WordPress installation.

   I have tried everything to get links from Opensea to show on Buddyboss, and I had high hopes this would finally prove to be the solution… But, nope, it doesnt work at all

   Not a fan of all their plugins but this one does the job perfectly (now that the fixes I suggested have been implemented). Highly recommended.

   Brilliant plugin from Wbcom Designs, as always! It creates an additional method for LMS sites to share information with and between students.
