AnsPress – Question and answer

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 · 67% 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 CPT slug “question” is bad coding style.A unique name had to be created.

   This plugin is dead in the water I recommend find another solution before wasting your time and money trying to make it in to a useful feature for your website.The look out of the box is as presentable as a forum from 1998. There are no way to make it look good and useful unless you spend a fair amount of development.No improvements has been made for years. Still not a single Gutenberg widget exist, the few short codes existing are not useful in any way. The forum has plenty of promises for features that has never been made.This plugin seems to be made and provided for free so that the developer can earn money on developing all the missing features that people need to make a useful Q&A for a site in 2024, “developer friendly” = for the developer who made the plugin .I would prefer a premium plugin that is useful than a free plugin that is missing simple and vital functionality to implement and design it for your needs.

   This Q&A plugin is very easy to setup and start using quickly. I like that it has a simple design that’s fast and optimized. The developer tools make it really easy to customize the look and feel to match my site. Overall a great plugin!

   I would like to make clear that this is a review, not a support request. The below reason is why I am rating this plugin with 1-star. If something is advertised in a plugin, it needs to actually exist. Installed this plugin ONLY because it claims “SEO Friendly Questions and answers are search engine optimized, with schema.org markup.” However, it does not. The schema markup does not exist. I tried validating the QA Pages through Schema.org and nothing appears. Same result in Google Rich Results Test.

   The plugin makes an Q&A functionality that works. But it has several issues – It is made “DEVELOPER FRIENDLY” not “USER FRIENDLY” – The look is something from 1998 – You cant disble VOTE – You cant disable COMMENT – confusing controle of who can answer a question and who can make a comment
