BugHerd

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   This plugin did not display the BugHerd sidebar needed for review. …But then I figured out it would work if I turned off my uBlock Origin browser extension. This topic was modified 4 months, 3 weeks ago by zylstra. Reason: The error was largely due to my setup

   Works nicely, no need to add code to header of theme manually, or rely on the theme or other plugins to add javascript to the site. Just enable and disable as needed.

   the plugin is just a decoy which takes you to tryout or to checkout 😉

   I love this program. Marking up website changes is sooooo easy with this plugin. The only thing I wish it would do is be able to notify the project manager or webmaster when a change has been requested. It’s redundant to set up the task in BugHerd and then have to send someone an email to let them know the task is there.
