BuddyProfileMessageUX Free

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 · 67% 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.

   UPDATE Because of the bad styling issue the developer implented to the free plugin, he build a pro version you have to pay for. This is very tricky and not a friendly way. For me it’s no problem to pay money for developers but if developers do it in a tricky and bad way, they should keep their sh.. I deactivated and deleted this useless plugin!! — Hi, thank you for this great plugin but the layered window is too small and you should do it wider or give the chance to enter the pixel for appearance. Can you do it better please? Best Regards, Thorsten

   If I need to message a member, I can now do it whilst viewing their profile avoiding the need to jump from screen to screen.

   I did think this was a great plugin, unfortunately after testing later it appears to break the notifications system on the wp admin bar on Buddypress 1.9. Email notifications also stopped working with this plugin installed.

   This will hopefully be the standard behavior of BuddyPress in future updates, but until then, this is a great fix!
