Add Hierarchy (parent) to post

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 23% 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.

Recent reviewers call it simple and useful, with the older one-star complaints about install failures and a malware quarantine no longer showing up.

   After trying to install this plugin I got a 404 error Ngix. I got in touch with my hosting company which reviewed the plugin. Meanwhile, I managed to upload the plugin but I couldn’t activate it. The reason was that the server security was detecting the malware and moving it to quarantine. Finally my hosting company (Webempresa) confirmed that they had detected malware, so they urged me to remove it completely, which I did. Still not sure if this has malware or the security norms of my hosting are strict, but I prefer to be cautious.
