CPT on Front Page

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.

   Was using Genesis and a CPT so my client can easily create landing pages to switch out as the front page. Needed a way to easily organize and switch them out. This is the only solution that worked for me, and it works great. Just activate the plugin, go to the Reading Settings, select the CPTs you want added to the “Static Front Page” dropdown options, and voila! I also love how it separates the CPTs from the other pages, so you don’t need to search for the stuff you’re actually interested in. I’m still looking for an option to remove the pages you don’t want as the front page ever (Privacy Policy? Terms? Really?), but this is a good enough solution! Kudos!
