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.

   This plugin works great for me in Firefox and Safari on my laptop but leaves a blank line and no 360 images in Chrome and Opera on my laptop. It works great on my iPhone, but fails and repeatedly reloads the page on my iPad. I contacted the developer on GitHub. He replied that it works for him, then closed the conversation without responding to my browser compatibility issues. I can’t recommend this plugin because it isn’t working in all common browsers that I’ve tested it on.

   I have been using this plugin for a few months now and its very good and stable. All you have to do is upload and add media in full size and it adds the 360 to your page. Its a very simple plugin that works. Update 7/4/19 – This app works with any 360 image you have. I have tried others and they are not as simple as this one. I used SiteOrigin and some simple CSS and created a large interactive 360 image for my main image under the header. This topic was modified 7 years ago by dennist_. Reason: update on this plugin

   On installation, get a Fatal Error when trying to activate. Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home4/hypno23/public_html/lovetranceformation.org/wp-content/plugins/cardboard/cardboard.php on line 44 So, no go. Tried on two different sites that I run. No good on either.
