Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

Reviewers keep saying it does one job well, adding content or a widget after every post, though a few hit theme conflicts or trouble on newer WordPress versions.

    In my case, I just needed to include a heading label after the content of certain blogs (preceding sharing social media icons) and this tool does exactly what I needed. That said, it seems like it doesn’t run with Chrome.

    This is great. Runs fine on WP 6.1, and is exactly what I wanted. I have over 800 posts on my site and have long wanted to have a specific set of links at the bottom of every post. I also use the “Recommended” option that is a WP option, but its kind of lame. This call-to-action type of end-of-post linked list is just exactly what I needed. Thank you Arelthia. Good job.

    If you have published hundreds of blog posts and want to add a piece of text at the end of every blog post, then it can be very time-consuming and tedious to manually add the text, and this is where this excellent plugin comes into play. With this plugin, you can automatically add text to all your posts at once. Thanks a lot for the developer of this plugin for developing this very helpful and time-saving plugin.
