bbPress Voting

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 · 100% 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 recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   And finally, it happened! The author has been quite responsive so far and is consistently adding new features thus gradually closing the gap between other platforms like Reddit and Stackoverflow. I’m quite confident the developer will keep adding new features over the years based on the progress made in the past.

   Plugin author has been very responsive and helpful. This plugin is very useful to our organization. I like the ability to hide voting on certain forums and the ability now to show who voted (via list of avatars under post).

   Although I wish it had some options for placement. Not sure I like it above the author avatar.

   Fantastic plugin. Simple and works great. Can now have my own little Reddit style forum on my website! I think people have been looking for this style of plugin for a while.

   I love this plugin and is exactly what I needed however the system stopping double votes became very annoying when I tried to use it in conjunction with myCRED, because even when I cleared cache and cookies it still gave me already voted message. Could you please make it native with a simple script like: $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id(); $user_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ); mycred_add( 'upvote', $user_id, 1, 'upvote' ); This topic was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by tejt99.
