BuddyStream

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 · 100% 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.

   Plugin is amazing after you figure out how to work. 5 stars is not enough!

   If I could give this software a zero, I would. It does not function as advertised. When I purchased the “latest” version (MarcoPolo 3.0) Facebook integration was broken and it took several weeks of writing to the author with no response before I finally got an answer and then several more weeks before a new version was released. And still the software didn’t work. Add to that, that when I bought the software, and had an issue with PayPal payment, I got an immediate response. DO NOT USE this software at all.

   Let’s get this straight: there’s no support at all for this plugin. The plugin works, IF you know how to set up Cronjobs. If you can’t, you won’t be able to get this set up. Period. If you can, it’s a bit of a headache, but you can get it working. The free version only has three networks – Twitter, and I think Flickr and maybe Youtube? Notably, NOT Facebook. If you want anything else, you need to buy the premium for 50EUR, which supposedly includes a cron thingy (which doesn’t work) and support (which doesn’t happen). So if you’re happy with just the free bits and can set up a cron yourself, have at ‘er. Otherwise, save yourself the trouble and find another plugin.

   I have tried the free version, and it is not working well with the Firmtheme.

   I feel very disappointing because of this plugin. It seems to be great, and it is all I need. But I tried to download different version and it doesn’t compatible with Buddypress (the admin panel disappears.. :/)

   This plugin gives your buddypress/social networking site some very cool features. I run a charity website that has a small online community, they all love this cause it makes it so easy to share their youtube videos. It works really well too, i love how easy it is to setup.

   Great plugin. I can’t say how much better this runs, in comparison to the disastrously bad shape it was in a year ago.

   Works like a dream, although you could say it works too good as I’d prefer it not to take historical posts and add them to my feed (instagram) but it is still a great plugin and very beneficial to the members of my site.
