Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    I am currently only using the free version, pro version is probably much better. Set up is cumbersome and lacking in options, but the options would be better in pro of course. Provides a good cross link with your readers, and older messages you have posted. I recommend it, but you probably want to go pro if you want the best options….

    Automated plugins rarely lists the best links to keep readers on my site. I usually do this manually with CP Related Posts, especially to cross promote my newest related posts. This topic was modified 9 years ago by pattijryan.

    Simple to configure. Sober design. I would appreciate to find language files so that we could translate it easier. Until the next upgrade, one can edit the main php file.

    hello, I did not want write but I tested this plugin and I am very disappointed most functions are paid free, we should see the images before titles but nothing appears free, it displays tags that are not clickable …. no interest since the themes appear mostly these tags for these same tags, proper names become separated and nothing mean nothing was displayed and I click on the button “post process previews” …. and this is the very unpleasant sensation that all items are recovered by the plugin What detestable sensation, I stopped immediately I do not recommend it at all !!!!!
