Anything Popup

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 · 64% 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.

   Tried all kinds of popup/Modal plugins. And I finally found you. Even seems to work with my own custom shortcodes from other plugins. I will donate as soon as I start earning but at least you have 5 for now thanks.

   Was trying to get a simple popup and was using HTML: Example:    Question Didn’t work on Android and wasn’t really very clean nor manageable. Anything Popup was really simple and configuration was a breeze. Frankly, other plugins were overly complex for what I wanted. This seems perfect. Thanks much This topic was modified 8 years, 11 months ago by desktopanywhere.

   You install it, go to settings > Anything Popup > Add New, and get the configuration and setup page all together. They give you the familiar TinyMCE editor everyone knows, and you type text and insert media. Then, copy paste the shortcode, and works out of the box event with ADDBLOCKER PLUS on. What else can you ask for? This topic was modified 9 years, 9 months ago by Dinamicore.
