Advanced Columns Block: Layout builder

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 · 100% 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.

   I am so excited I found this plugin! This plugin is so powerful thanks to the power of CSS Grid which this plugin brings to you in full. Anyone struggling to get their layout to look like they want in the Block Editor seriously have to give this plugin a look! In the hands of a web developer it is incredibly power and just what we need. Note, I wish it showed up better in the WP plugin directory search, since it would have saved me so much pain. Oddly, even search the exact name usually doesn’t bring it up. 🙁
