BuddyPress Poke

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 · 90% 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.

   When I try to poke back an user, goes to a blank page, link says this: poke_action=poke_back&user_id=1&_wpnonce=7abc4f5c7f

   Overall this is a solid plugin. I wish it offered a bit more such as an email notification to users and the ability to easily change “poke” to something else such as “flirt”, “like”, “wink”, etc., but it works as intended. I had to edit the plugin to change “poke” to “like” but it works. Only issue is that if he updates this plugin I am going to have to update the plugin code each time. As a non coder I wouldn’t have been able to get this functionality for my Buddypress site and I wanted it so I can’t really complain. Hoping to see some improvements on this plugin into the future…Hint, hint!

   I like this plugin for the simple fact that so many are used to Facebook and don’t like change, So my clients use this a lot. Regards. Ben.
