Disable Real MIME Check

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.

Reviewers keep saying it does one job well, fixing the file type upload block that stops CSV imports in WooCommerce, and it's still working for them years on.

   This plugin solved a problem that had me at an impasse. No matter what “solutions” from WooCommerce and other forums/posts I’d tried, I was unable to import a CSV or Tab-Text file to update details for my products. I installed this plugin and, voila!, success. It’s a one-trick pony, but it’s the thing I needed. Thanks! Sergey! (WordPress 6.3, WooCommerce 8.0.2)

   IDK if it’s a bug in WC or something, but I can’t upload .csv files, had to hook this in so I can update some prices… very helpful!

   While some files are transferred, I get the following warning: “Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.”It seemed to work when removing HTML from my .csv file. However, sometimes it is preferred to keep HTML when importing. This plugin fixed the issue.
