c3 Random Quotes

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 · 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.

   This plugin is simple and it works. The developer is very responsive. When I noticed an issue I contacted him and he quickly worked with me to isolate the issue, fix, and publish an update to the WP repository. The set of quotes that comes pre-loaded is also very good. Be sure to read the installation instructions.

   When I entered the configuration parameters in the Appearance->Widgets area, or in the customizer, the save button erased all the parameters so I couldn’t configure it. So it looked bad on the web site. I’m using WordPress 5.3.2

   I like this plugin, it’s better than others (which are too complicated and heavy for hosting). but it’s got a problem – image shown even with ‘no_image’ setting. hope dev will fix it 🙂

   Without meaning to throw shade at any part of the community, some plugins are easier to use than others, and some work better than others. The C3 Random Quotes plugin is a real treat – it does what it claims, does it well, and doesn’t put your head through a wringer to make it happen. My old html site had a random quote routine, and our users have come to expect it. It was less than 10 minutes work to install C3 Random Quotes, modify and upload our old quotes database. Thrilled! Overjoyed!

   My site uses a translator to make pages available in 42 different languages. This interfered with the call up of c3 Random Quotes page which holds my “quote collection”. When I emailed Scott for a bit of help finding out WHY his plug-in failed to work.. he responded within 20 minutes… many tests and emails and Scott signing on as site administrator – HE discovered WHY the plug-in failed [the translator plug-in] and FIXED it! All in less than 24 hours – starting at noon of Friday, solved by 8am Saturday morning! This is the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE HAD BY ANY PLUG-IN AUTHOR!!! The plug-in works perfectly and I am VERY PLEASED! I only wish I could afford his services to solve ALL my problems with my WordPress site! THANK YOU SCOTT!

   This plugin works really well and doesn’t over-complicate things. I like that all quotes are kept in one page. The developer is also responsive to user input – I pointed out a couple of small issues and within a short time an update was released that addressed them all (v.1.1)

   Easy to install and works well. My only complaint is that it can’t do multi-line quotes such as poetry, lists or anything else that requires a line break inside a paragraph. For example, One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them has to entered and is printed as One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
