Bulk Post Category Creator

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 · 81% 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.

   It worked awesomely for us. Easy way to create bulk categories.

   Even if you set “No” category, the plugin sets the “Uncategorized” category as the parent category. This is absurd, especially if you don’t know and you create hundreds of categories that you then have to arrange by hand!

   Even if you set it to have no parent, it still puts all categories under a parent. Completely ruined my site as I now have to remove hundreds of bad categories.

   Categories are going under parent category. I want to create categories that are not parented to anyone. Please fix this plugin.
