Breadcrumbs Shortcode

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 80% 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.

   All breadcumb plugin except this one doesn’t work on my website. This is the only working plugin for my site. Moreover, the plugin has simple, strong interface and options I can do everything I want. I highly recommend this wonderful plugin to everyone. This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by leocw.

   I’ve tried a lot of ways to get breadcrumbs to show on my site, but this is the only one that is simple and gives me all of the configuration I need to show full breadcrumbs, including the sub-categories, which a lot of others don’t show. Loving it!
