Decent Comments

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 · 52% 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.

   On opening the plugins page it says: There are several options .. On opening the Options page it shows 1 option with a check box: Delete settings when the plugin is deactivated.the rest of the page is blank. Assuming that I had an installation problem, I went to the Support and found: How to change settings for decent comments plugin. and There’s nothing on the Settings page?? What am I missing? Both from more than 7 months ago and neither answered by the plugin author, but closed as resolved. Fortunately one of the posts explained what to do: You drag the Decent Comments Widget on the Widget page. Had there not been a note about several options and the distraction of the empty Options page, the solution would have been found without resorting to the Support page. In compensation the plugin does what it is supposed to do and does it well. Clarify the options issue and provide information about what to do after the initial set-up and I’ll give it 5 stars.
