Blog Filter – Post Grid Filter by Category or Tag

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 · 49% 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.

   We used this plugin in one of our websites in order to use filters for our Posts page because most of other plugins did not meet our requirements. This plugin worked great and it helped us a lot!!!

   I found this plug-in to be very easy to use as someone who is extremely new to WordPress DiviBuilder and has never used shortcode or have any formal training in coding. I ran into a couple of issues and emailed them asking some very basic questions, which they responded to fairly quickly. They were able to fix the issues I had directly by temporarily accessing my site. Very happy with the level of support I was able to get to make this successful for me. Highly recommend!
