WP Delicious – Recipe Plugin for Food Bloggers (formerly Delicious Recipes)

Reviewers keep praising how customizable the plugin is and how fast the support team replies, even on the free version, though one Pro user says updates keep breaking things on a client site.

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.

86 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 63 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

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 · 51% 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 9 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   I have started my recipe blog and found the free WP Delicious plugin is a really great tool. I had some issue with the print function, and the support team (Shila) offered help very responsively and professionally. I didn’t expect that, as I am only using the free version. But yes, I would recommend the plugin to everyone who need an organized recipe blog.
