Ambrosite Next/Previous Post Link Plus

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

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.

   The plugin works great on my 5.4 copy and does exactly what I need: give me the next/previous links for a specific category, rather than all the categories the post is in like the built-in functions do. Thank you!

   I’ve been using for years and still works well with current WordPress. It’s the only thing I’ve found that allows me to create the theme I want. Thanks!

   Has many options to customize as well. Hasn’t been update for a while, but still works perfectly with WP 4.5.3.
