bbp style pack

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 · 77% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   First of all, this plugin is great and very useful. Thank you for your work!I would like to report a bug. In the Unread Posts tab, for the 6th option, Opt-in or Opt-out options, I selected the Allow users to opt-in option. However, I noticed that the “Mark all topics as read” button still appears on the page for users who have not chosen to enable the “Display unread icons” feature or for users who are not logged in. I believe this is a bug because this button is meaningless for those users. I also saw that the code for this feature is no longer maintained, but I would really appreciate it if you could fix this bug. I tried custom the function code but it didn’t work… function bsp_add_unread_actions () {    global $bsp_style_settings_unread ;    if (!is_user_logged_in()) return;    $user = wp_get_current_user();    $user_id = $user->ID;    $optinout = (!empty(get_user_meta($user_id, 'bsp_unread_optinout', true)) ? get_user_meta($user_id, 'bsp_unread_optinout', true) : '');    $show_unread = false;    if ($bsp_style_settings_unread['optinout'] == 1) {        $show_unread = true;    }    elseif ($bsp_style_settings_unread['optinout'] == 2 && $optinout == 1) {        $show_unread = true;    }    elseif ($bsp_style_settings_unread['optinout'] == 3 && $optinout != 2) {        $show_unread = true;    }    if ($show_unread) {        add_action("bbp_theme_before_topic_title", "bsp_ur_icon_wrapper_begin");        add_action("bbp_template_after_single_topic", "bsp_ur_on_topic_visit");        add_action('bbp_theme_before_forum_title', 'bsp_unread_forum_icons');        add_action('bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'bsp_test_mark_as_read');    }}
