Carousel Horizontal Posts Content Slider

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 · 57% 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.

   You cannot create multiple carousels from different categories. The description doesn’t say that!

   I like this plugin, but some of the settings don’t work as expected. If you want the featured image to show, you don’t get the ‘read more’ link at the bottom. …Unless you set the character limit to zero. But then you don’t get any excerpt text at all. Also, even though the post text is left aligned, the excerpt is center text, and you have to futz with Css for quite a while to get things to look the way you want… left aligned, and NO justification please.
