Description List Block

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.

At the current install trend, crossing 500+ in roughly 139 days.

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.

One reviewer says it works exactly as advertised, while others report the editor hanging on update and complain that the block's name doesn't match the term most people search for.

   No wonder I couldn’t find your plugin. The element you are using is a Definition List. I’ve never heard it referred to as a Description List until I found your extension (Definition List, Definition Term, Definition (Data; Details; other D-words semantically befitting a definition)). I get it. Mozilla calls it a Description List. Where did that come from? SMH.I’m suspect you’ll find more users if you use the common name.Historically, it is identified as a Definition list. (e.g. check the HTML3 spec, avail at w3 dot org)In any case, your plugin is really nice. Much better than the “other” one i was using. You got it right. Simple, easy, etc. Now I won’t have to suffer all of that broken HTML, block recovery, etc. Thank you!UPDATE: one star. it breaks WordPress (basically).

   I have installed the plugin on my website and started using it on one page. When I hit the update button, the editor page becomes unresponsive and the update button status does not change. While editing other pages on the website without Description List Block's blocks, everything is fine. After disabling the plugin, the problem was fixed.
