bbPress Notify (No-Spam)

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 · 62% 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.

   Already a great plugin, but when I signalled the need for an extra feature it was quickly added.

   I just installed this plugin. Thanks for solving this problem! Often my visitors are expecting to hear from me directly, so I need notifications to help me remember to check for any pending (hidden) topics. I am hopeful that this plugin will help me know when my visitors are trying to communicate with me using the forums. I also would like to get a notification on the WordPress admin back-end of the site whenever there is a pending (hidden) topic, or a new topic I have not yet viewed. Is this a feature that could be added?

   there’s this plugin, and it’s free, and it works. You can’t say that about much these days. Thank you to the developers for the time and work they’ve put into this.

   I had a problem with bbpress sending out notification messages to noreply@ address and no forum subscribers could receive notification messages. After installing bbPress Notify, my problem is solved! Forum notifications are sent correctly and subscribers get them. Thank you. This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by Skylabb.
