Da Reactions

Reviewers are happy: they find it easy to set up, praise the responsive developer, like the cache-friendly performance and moderate price, and a couple just want more reaction sets.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

11 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 6 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 89% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 400.

   Adding this reaction button is an effective way to boost engagement on websites. These buttons allow users to share their thoughts with a single click. Plugin is user-friendly and easy to integrate. The result is very cool and clean. Plugin’s author is very professional when you bring a problem to him. I recommend this plugin, which benefits from numerous settings and options, as well as optimization for button loading speed.

   This is a meticulously crafted reactions plugin that works beautifully on my posts, comments, and attachment page. It has hidden gems such as shortcodes that allow for precise reaction placement in things like a lightbox or a custom react for a specific page element. It’s quite customizable, visually looks great, and has great documentation. Daniele is very kind, was quick to respond to an issue I was having, and is truly passionate about this project. This gives assurance when stepping forward to utilize on our sites when using for years to come. Thank you for developing this. Da Reactions comes highly recommended! 🙂

   I could only find three plugins that allow adding more post reactions than a simple like and dislike and this is the only one that does it hassle-free. I am trying to keep the bulk of my focus on creating and modifying PHP code to specific site related features. This plugin only required me to convert my reaction images to SVG format and do a little CSS tinkering and voila! Perfectly matches my design and does exactly what I needed it to do. Thank you for creating this. This topic was modified 2 years, 10 months ago by gwab. This topic was modified 2 years, 10 months ago by gwab.

   Paid version is super great and exactly what I was looking for. My only feedback is that I wish I could duplicate the feature with more, different sets of Reaction buttons, to further customize my userbase participation.

   I never seen such a rating plugin. Because I can change all rating pictures according to my needs. It is super compatible with cache plugins. Most of the rating plugins do not work with cache plugins. But Da Reactions is super for all needed feature. People does not yet know.
