Admin Columns

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 · 51% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I’m not sure why this isn’t something available by default without the need for a plugin. But since it isn’t, it is nice to be able to add it back in where it belongs.

   Unnecessary columns made the default post list look awful. Specifically, when the post title column width was small, the title would appear split across multiple lines. After using Admin Columns to reduce the number of columns to just the essentials, the list became cleaner and more visually appealing.

   In the past I used a plug-in that created a sidebar widget with the number of comments posted by each student on my class blogs, but that plug-in went the way of all flesh, and I found Admin Columns as an acceptable substitute. I quickly added a Comments column to the Users page, and voila! I can see how many comments have been posted by each student.

   It feels like there’s no clear update plan for this plugin. Changes are made and released without thorough testing, bugs are discovered afterward, and then another update is pushed. This leads to daily updates, which is extremely annoying
