What its installed base runs

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Does something very simple, very easily – that is to make the posts chronological. This is excellent for any type of study – a book, a series, a course or even programs. This should have been an automatic option in WP. It would be nice to have options to make some categories chono and others non-chrono. Thats another level

The plugin was just what I needed. It is perfect for my online course. I use the category for the course title and the posts for the chapters. Thank you. This topic was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by Stig.

When reversing posts, the labels Next Post/Prev Post remains the same. It means that in order to chronologically continue reading you have to click Prev Post instead of Next Post. It’s kind of misleading.

Probably the least painful — as in 0 on a 10 scale — of any plugin I’ve used on WordPress. It works. Boom.
