CHL-Change HTML Lang

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.

   Was searching for a method to just change the default html lang and not mess with other languages on the html, for a multi language site. On the same time, I wanted the main wordpess backend language to English, because changing it messed with some php variables. This plugin did exactly what I needed.

   Wonderful. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a million, Pratik, for making this plugin available to anyone in need of changing the language of posts without having to change the entire admin interface’s language. This option should be part of WordPress by default. This topic was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by adrianolucas.
