Childify Me

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 · 71% 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.

   I tried it with the Hueman theme with newly installed wp (30/01/2021). There is no ‘childfy me’ menu/icon/button

   I used it over customizer, then it comes a note: childtheme directory is ok. But if i will see it, then it give this message: “The theme directory “magazine-basic-child” does not exist.” in a white monitor. Two times I tried to use the plugin, two times there was a bad result :-(((. I escaped it.
