Contemplate

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.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   It does what it says it does, seamlessly. I needed to add a long menu in 50 pages and the idea of an update to that later on was scary. Now I made the menu a “contemplate” and I add its shortcode on every page. So I only update the Contemplate later on. Note: It doesn’t render (nested) shortcodes at leat in my installation (3.8). Take not on that. Thank you!

   Hi, It will be Best plugin if: – user can rename shortcodes – have dropdown menu in editor to select form all shortcodes. I like this plugin and for me it’s fine, but how about client who even can’t work with MS Word … Regards
