CC Child Pages

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 · 61% 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.

   Works well; is fairly straight forward to use. Supports siblings as well, which is a nice capability.

   Using it for parent pages with the [child_pages] shortcode and the widget for a hierarchical list of photo gallery pages. Works like a charm, great plugin, many thanks to Caterham Computing for the development. Integrating the [child_pages] button with the blocks editor would be very high on my wishlist, including more of the available options.

   I needed a plug-in to show the child pages on a front “overview” page for each section of my website, and this plug-in does so perfectly. Much easier to use and set up on the current version of WordPress than all of the other plug-ins I tried! (As an aside, it works GREAT with Oxygen Builder!)

   I needed a way to create page lists, preferably with thumbnail and excerpt, found this plugin after almost giving up–most are for posts and images–and had my lists with thumbnail and excerpt set up within minutes. Really clear instructions for adding parameters to the shortcode. At some point I want to style the text, but for now, this is great.
