Book Review Block

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 · 93% 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.

   I tried other plugins and this one is the best for creating book review posts. Makes it easy to leave a nice looking book review. The latest version has some new features that make it even better.

   I couldn’t get this one to work. It was glitchy and most of the options I wanted were in the previous version. I thought I would see an improvement on this one but turned out to be a major disappointment.

   There’s no option for custom fields or an option to show the headings of the section like Title: ABC or Author: ABC, it just shows the name. I just want the Book Review plugin to not show after the Read More section in Gutenberg, which is why I tried this one. It seriously is a major downgrade from the previous plugin by this creator with only like 10% of the original options.
