Canvas

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 · 70% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Some of the canvas block layouts are not available even after selecting > Canvas full width template > section > posts . For example, in the select the block layout, all the post sliders are missing. Full blocks, and some tab blocks. Why is the last time you provided a support reply over 3 years ago?Would be a good plugin if only it was supported properly – fixing the bugs – and the plugin developers responded to their customers support issues.Plugin has great potential, but currently unusable.

   I have it a try and didn’t see anything revolutionary about the blocks this plugin offers. The design settings are pretty much sub par compared to other major design block plugins. The heading block seems a bit funky as I had a had time entering the text in the text entry box. There’s much to be desired.
