Arconix Shortcodes

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 · 24% 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 Arconix Toggles really help to clean up the view of my fire district’s website. Even though the plugin has not yet been tested for compatibility with version 5.2.2 of WordPress, it seems to be working fine with various browsers and devices. Upendra has been very helpful in providing answers to my questions regarding customizing the css for the toggles and concerns about accessibility issues. The documentation would be more helpful if it listed ways to customize the css of the shortcodes. I’ve been able to change the title color, background color, and margins but not the button colors. If there was better documentation and settings for changing features, I would rate the plugin 5 stars. This topic was modified 6 years, 12 months ago by webman4lrfd.

   Love this, just what I needed. Took me over ten minutes to find the documentation – lots of demos, but finding the short-codes is maddening. Should be part of the FAQ. Here’s the link:

   This plugin is great, so simple to use and works brilliantly. Sometime tabs can fail on smaller devices, but these all look great across all. I had a small error issue and so asked for support, which was address super quickly and an update was released within a few hours! So impressed.
