bbPress – New UI

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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   No choice of theme except one in black and especially there is written everywhere forum by dk4000.Com … and it’s bad and very ugly .. you can do better yourself by knowing how to change some css Pas de choix de theme sauf un seul en noir et surtout il y a ecrit partout forum them by dk4000.Com… et c’est moche, tres moche..

   Very easy to use and completely changes the look of bbPress forums. I suspect that over time the UI options might increase, but I hope it does not become bloaty with many format options. Right now it does the job and I am very pleased I found it.

   Update 8-5-2015: Developer is great and worked with me to get all issues fixed! I’m leaving the original review text in case someone else is having similar issues. Working great now! End Update Not sure what is causing this, but looking through google developer tools while viewing my site, this plugin causes several 404 errors and 301 errors. This adds at least 6 seconds to the load time. Like the styles ok, edited some of them myself using a css plugin. Love the show if someone is online feature. Would rate much higher if it didn’t slow down the site. More info: 301 Errors: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress-new-ui/inc/adminui//css/style-replies.css?ver=4.2.3 /wp-content/plugins/bbpress-new-ui/inc/replyui//css/general.css?ver=4.2.3 404 Errors: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress-new-ui/inc/adminui/css/style-topics.css?ver=4.2.3 /wp-content/plugins/bbpress-new-ui/inc/replyui/css/general.css?ver=4.2.3 /wp-content/plugins/bbpress-new-ui/inc/adminui/css/style-replies.css?ver=4.2.3 Update: The author is really great and is helping now. Upping the review to 3 stars.

   Very cool design that changed the BBpress boring black and grey style. Best support I have ever received from a plugin developer in years.
