Advanced WordPress Reset – Debug, Recover & Reset WP

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 · 68% 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 lot of the features of this plugin are locked up for the Pro version, which is something I generally find annoying. However it merits the five stars because it successfully and easily did what I wanted it to do: Restore a theme to its default appearence when that theme provided no reset option of its own.

   I think this plugin is one of the fastest for database backup and restore. I would like to improve the appearance of the record row comparisons and the difference highlighting. A tabular view instead of plain text would be good.

   Это реально крутой плагин! Помогает очень, таким как я, который уже делает 10 попытку создать свой сайт, а по факту топчусь на месте!!!! Благодаря плагину и спасаюсь, хоть как то продвигаюсь вперёд, с каждым разом всё больше и больше:))
