Button Generator – Easily Create Custom Buttons with Icons and Analytics

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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   I tried every Button Generator I could find, they all fell short… until I found Button Generator Pro. My needs were simple: I wanted the button to be nothing more than text that read “DOWNLOAD” with an arrow icon beside it. That button was to sit inline with the text of the file name, however no other button generator could do that. Try to put it inline and it simply wouldn’t do it. As I started using it, there were a few more things I wanted that weren’t there. I emailed Wow and they added the features in the next update. This happened three times. Incredibly responsive support, easy to use, and the only one that works. I wouldn’t waste your time with any other button generator when Wow makes the best one available.

   Would be nice to have this integrated into TinyMCE instead of having to leave the post to go to the button maker to make a button. Where is the “open in new window” option for opening hyper links when clicking the button? This topic was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by JWebber74.

   Nice addon, but why is “Open in new window” link a pro feature? This HTML attribute is VERY easily to add on your own (without any addon), so why is this a pro feature? That’s just stupid.
