Custom Field Template

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 · 16% 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.

   I’ve been using Custom Field Template on my portfolio site for decades during which it has been actively maintained, as soon as WordPress core is updated, Custom Field Template is if necessary. I see a few posts saying it’s confusing or hard to use, I’m not a developer, I’ve just learnt it as I go along, if I can learn it, anyone can. If you want something that will hold your hand with a support forum then you might be better off paying for support with a paid for product but this does everything I’ve ever needed and has never once broken or let me down.

   All I want to do is add an individual banner on each page. But no. Way to complex.
