BuddyPress Default Cover Photo

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 · 81% 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.

   If you like plugins that ruin your setup, pick this one. Despite the prior comments by the author it does not uninstall. It changes the default way BP handles the cover pics and when you uninstall it, you NO LONGER HAVE THE OPTION TO UPLOAD GROUP COVERS! THats right, it defaults you to some old version of BP from the days when there were no covers for groups. And the plug-in does NOT restore default function even when deleted. This is a true piece of junk that worked years ago but will be certain to break your install. And if you read the prior comments, people have said this for years and the developer just makes general remarks in response instead of fixing it or removing it from production. It may have been cool years ago but do yourself a favor and DO NOT EVEN THINK AVOIT IT. I don’t usually leave bad reviews but this is a warning to those who might tempt fate. Not worth it. Ha, there are so many things wrong with it. It adds duplicate covers, one over the other, and you have to delete one, only to have the default show up again, improperly sized. Then, when you realize you don’t want it, it’s too late, because uninstalling it means that you now cannot upload group covers. Lol. Either fix it or shut it down.

   After selecting the option “Leave BP Cover plugin functionality instead of BP 2.4 core” it destroyed my site. Do not install this plugin!! As mentioned in a ticket with no resolution from 2 years ago, there’s no way to revert back. I now have to restore my site and redo all my other recent changes. Beware that this plugin may break your site.

   I think it could be a really nice plugin but it is concentrated on the developers theme.
