Arconix FAQ

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 · 91% 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’s simple but useful. But only [faq] can apply WordPress theme, and It cannot adjust the group order. Add the following code to make your [faq] look better. .arconix-faq-accordion-title,.arconix-faq-title {font-weight: bold;margin: 0.8em 0;} This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by trajis.

   Half the time, updating new FAQs or changes “don’t take”, erasing everything typed. And often, delineating an order doesn’t take, defeating the purpose of establishing the order of each each FAQ. I see why this is a free plugin.

   This plugin does exactly what it says and works like a charm. I can absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to add a simple FAQ to their WP site.

   If you need a quick and easy solution this little plugin is fantastic. I would love to see some styling options or at least the option to select some colours or add icons but overall this plugin is fantastic and although there are much more complex solutions out there I can see why is the favourite of so many WP users. Hopefully the developers will keep it alive.

   Works ok, but spams the admin interface with ads for “pro” plugins. Extremely irritating. Use the fix provided by edmunek, or add the following line return array(); right after line 114 public static function faq_get_notice_text () { or don’t use the plugin.

   Well, suddenly recently started to receive multiple notifications on the dashboard that there are special “offers” for pro plugins. Found that all are coming from “www.tychesoftwares.com” which are also responsible for this free plugin. I am finding this offensive that you are placing your “pro” offers notification in a free plugin. For all interested, edit arconix-faq-all-component.php and remove line 71 plus all “messages” (there is 13 special offer messages included later on)
