AddQuicktag

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 · 75% 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.

Most reviewers still call it a time saver they've used for years, though a couple push back on the dated, confusing editing interface and one hit a save problem with button labels after updating.

   WordPress4.9.18 AddQuicktag 2.6.1 Japanese ————- This plugin is very useful！ （star*5 ★★★★★） 　 However, after updating, I can no longer save the label name of the button. I typed it in English instead of Japanese and it was solved! But it’s time to finish using it… I am not good at English. sorry. This topic was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by himejiro.

   Meanwhile in 2021 the plugin could get a new interface … it is hard and confusing to edit there anything.
