Amazon Product in a Post Plugin

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 · 85% 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.

Older reviewers loved how easy it was to drop Amazon products into posts, but the recent ones report fatal PHP errors, credentials that won't validate, and a plugin that's gone years without an update.

   Only did a short test. It seems to work fine with WP 6.4.1

   No plugin updates in 2 years. I have known good API credentials on the settings page, and when I click the button to test them I get a wordpress error. There is an entry in the log file: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, string given in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/amazon-product-in-a-post-plugin/inc/class-request-v5.php:270

   First, the documentation is very bad. Second, the plugin gives an error every time I try to add a product. Does not work.
