Change WooCommerce Product Author – Transfer Ownership of WooCommerce Products

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. 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.

   Not 5 stars because took me some time to find out, that only Administrators appear in the drop-down menu of the product-Author. Without this extra information not so easy as the plugin says. Once a new Administrator is used as author of a product, you can change the user to Editor (for security better) and the new user will still appear in the product-Author drop-down list.

   Bro – thank you so much fahim for making this plugin, it does what it says it’ll do. Great! As a convenience, it would be cool to add the option to change the author in the page itself as opposed to editing in the “quick settings” only, but that’s me being spoiled. I greatly appreciate you creating this plugin!

   This plugin delivers! I’m expanding my art site to other users and needed a way to give them authorship so the site can show their biographies, but products don’t allow you to assign authorship. Fixed it! Thank you!
