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.

   The plugin is still working, but I wonder for how long, as another plugin that did the same (and was about the same age) has just crashed my site. Can you please update the plugin or let us know that you will not update it? I will do a Dutch translation for you if you’d like.

   Thanks! What if commenter doesn’t want to receive notifications? An opt-in or out feature would be great! @karl53 To do what you want to do, go to your Dashboard, then to Plugins, click on Edit “Comment Email Reply” in cer_plugin.php change: $headers .= 'From: '.get_option('blogname').' <'.get_option('admin_email').'>' . "\r\n"; to $headers .= 'From: '.get_option('blogname').' <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";

   Thank you for Comment Email Reply plugin. Does exactly what it supposed to do and no configuration required – which is nice. However, there is one option that I would like to see added. And option to use “do-not-reply”@mydomain.com. I want to encourage readers to come back to the site and post follow-up comments rather than simply reply to the reply email. So in that sense, the plugin is a bit too simplistic.
