Dashboard Welcome for Beaver Builder

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.

Older reviewers loved how easily it dressed up the client dashboard, while the newest ones say it's gone stale, hiding Beaver Builder's advanced tab and offering no findable settings on recent WordPress, with no reply from the developer.

   Hi there. Just tried the plugin for a client. After installing on 6.1.1, there doesn’t appear to be a way in the direction to: “Go to plugin settings and select the layout from dropdown for any user role.”Can’t seem to find the Settings. None in the plugin listing, or Beaver section, or any other I can find. If it’s not me, this is an FYI. If I have a brain leak here, can you fill it? 😉 Thanks so much,JL. nwcic

   <p>EDIT: I didn’t think it would matter that this plugin hadn’t been updated in a year, since it’s so simple, but it “replaced” the new advanced tab in the BB settings menu. So I no longer have access to the BB advanced tab unless I uninstall this plugin. Wish they’d kept it up.</p> <p> </p> <p>Love love love this plugin! It makes it so easy to customize the dashboard to give your clients all the information they need to update their site. Hope dev will keep it up with new versions of WP/BB.</p> This topic was modified 7 years, 6 months ago by SocialSparkMedia. This topic was modified 3 years, 6 months ago by SocialSparkMedia.
