Dokan Product Validation

Reviewers like the idea and say Dokan should have shipped this by default, but the newer ones report the plugin wiping other entered fields when validation fails, rejecting a legitimate price of 0, and reloading the whole page instead of validating inline.

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.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

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.

2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #30,100 to #45,000, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 47 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 20.

   Instalei e fui verificar. Inseri menos dados do que necessário para ver se acusava dados faltantes. Acusou os dados que faltava, porém, deletou todos os outros dados. O problema está aí! Se arrumar, volto a utilizar pois a solução é boa.

   Thanks for your awesome WP plugin. It’s good, but it lacks a UI for customizing it, such as adding more required fields or removing default fields. The second problem is that it’s not Ajax-based. It reloads the page to validate, and all the data should be entered again. When vendors enter 0 in the price field, your plugin displays an error. Sometimes vendors want to give a product as a gift and put 0 in the price field. Please fix this bug. Please extend your plugin to include other important features, such as validating other fields and requiring minimum and maximum image quantities.

   This is something that any multivendor plugin should contemplate, but they do not do it.I would add the error warning when the seller did not upload at least 3 photos in the image gallery… I already have more than 3 third party plugins, because dokan does not cover minimum needs that years ago should bring by default. I hope the developer can put together a group of useful modifications that dokan lacks, create a good addon and sell it.
