Collapsed Archives

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 · 93% 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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Has all the options I needed to achieve a Blogger-style treeview archive. I’m sure with some CSS I’ll be able to style it however I want in the future. Great work!

   Works great, thanks a lot. One thing though, somehow within my theme the alignment to the left didn’t work out. margin-left: 0 !important; wasn’t enough, it seems. I fixed it by adding padding-left: 0! important; to .collapsed-archives > ul { } Also made a modification to add a fade/transition effect to the dropdown. For those interested it’s just some addition the last few lines of code: /* Toggled content */ .collapsed-archives input ~ ul { display: inline-block; opacity: 0; transition: opacity 0s linear 0s; -webkit-transition: opacity 0s linear 0s; } .collapsed-archives input:checked ~ ul { opacity: 1; display: block; transition: opacity 0.5s linear 0s; -webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s linear 0s; }

   Does exactly what the description says, and super easy to install – just drag and drop the Widget. No PHP or HTML changes to your theme!

   After upgrading WordPress I had some problems with the plugin I used previously (Collapsing Archives), so I started looking for an alternative and found Collapsed Archives. Works like a charm and is more lightweight than the other one. It won’t work on IE8 but who cares… Thank you!

   Works without any problems on several sites that I used them so far. And thanks to this plugin, it managed to roll up my archives so that my sites look neater and tidier. Good job!
