Advanced Popups

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 · 87% 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.

   I wanted to display a popup announcement requiring site visitors to click on the Agree button before closing the popup box. This plugin does the job while many other plugins don’t include this feature. Though, customization is limited.

   I tried: Elegance Modal Box, WP Modal, Popup Maker and many many more. ALL of them have issues showing a simple image in full screen. This is the ONLY plugin which has no bloat, and is able to easily show images as full screen. Also a HUGE plus for not taking over the Admin Menu, it sits perfectly in setting > popup. Instead of ALL the other plugins pushing their plugin into the main menu options. As a fellow dev, I would pay for this versions.

   There is no documentation at all, so this plugin is pretty much useless for advanced uses.

   Just lack of information… Probably the author should put detailed description and screenshots.

   If you (like me) are tired of bloated popup-plugins and just want one with good and focused core functionality, this is the plugin to get. It does exactly what i want from a popup-plugin.

   This is by far the easiest and most beautiful pop-up / slide-in plugin I have used! It’s versatile in its capabilities of display and looks good in any theme.
