Advanced Import

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 · 47% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   We used this plugin as a parent plugin for our theme importer plugin and this works great with it. We tried with our elementor based theme as well and it worked as we wanted.

   As a theme developer, I am using this plugin, it is a fantastic plugin, it makes the theme more user friendly and the user can easily import demo content. The most important point for me is it supports the premium version of the theme too. Thanks for developing a very useful plugin for developers.
