Ajax Dropdowns

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.

   It solved my problem easily! It is great! However, here are some problems: 1. By the time I installed this plugin, it has not been updated for a year. And seems no one replied the support for long time already. 2. It can easily select page or post to add as dropdown item. The dropdown item text must be the post or page title. It will be great if I can rename the dropdown item text without affect the page or post title. 3. It can only select the first item as default selected item. It would be great if I can set the default selected item. 4. Also, I am using WPML for multi-language (Chinese and English). The dropdown selection shows all pages in both Chinese and English. I got few pages which titled in “2018” for both chinese and english pages. It makes me hard to select only the Chinese 2018 or only the English 2018.

   only thing I am missing is specifying custom links as I was intending to use this on multisite…

   Need I say more? Great interface, selections for how you want the search to operate were surprisingly dead easy to setup! Thank you! 9/7/16 works beautifully on 4.6.1 but would like auto alphabetizing option, is that in the works? This topic was modified 9 years, 10 months ago by Mel - Jett Web Development.
