Continue Shopping for WooCommerce

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 · 85% 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.

   Worked immediately! Thanks! It would be cool if the button also was included on the “empty car page”… or is my install broken? 🙂 This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by Duke Snoogens.

   Why this functionality is not part of WooCommerce itself I’ll never know, but a million thanks to the developers for this one!

   I did not like the “continue shopping” button redirecting my customers back to the same product page. I wanted to set it to my custom shop page. This free plugin was the answer and exactly what I was hoping for. Now my “continue shopping” button goes to my products page. Thank you for creating this great plugin!
