Admin Help Docs

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 · 88% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

At the current install trend, crossing 700+ in roughly 133 days.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewers call it simple and easy to manage for client and internal admin docs, they like the multisite support and white-label options, and several single out fast, helpful support.

   An easy to use plugin, that allows me to create and organize documentation for my clients. My clients can now find and organize tasks and instructions, freeing myself from support questions.

   Since the fantastic Simple Documentation by Mathieu Hays hasn’t been maintained in 2 years, this plugin has stepped in to take up the slack. It’s simple but powerful for adding developer documentation to multiple sites easily. It allows you to add documentation to specific pages (including custom post type pages) as well as maintain a central documentation list for the client. Highly recommended for developers to use.

   The best plugin for documentation. Highly recommended if you want to add help boxes on pages for admins that don’t know what they are doing. Also having a dedicated help section with instructions is very useful. Very cool that I get to change the name and colors, too! I am able to eliminate a lot of repetitive questions. I can also use it for notices when I need to alert my team before they make important changes to the site. And there are no premium options that you don’t have access to; it is completely free! Kudos!
