Dynamic Month & Year into Posts

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. 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.

   I was looking for something to keep text such as “X years of experience” on my site up to date. I thought it was a niche use case as I hadn’t found a solution until now (I was halfway through cobbling together a code snippet myself to do that when I came across this plugin, and it does a much better job 😅) It’s really thoughtfully put together, there are little touches like the ordinal support on the age shortcode (so you get “35th” instead of just “35”) and the option to have a years, months, and days format which show that the dev actually thought about how people use this in real life and not just the bare minimum to tick a box. He’s also super responsive; something I reported in the support forum was fixed in ~3 hours. Check all the other reviews here and you’ll see it’s not an accident. I really hope this stays as it is because I’ve been burned by good free plugins being sold and pulling a bait-and-switch/becoming bloated lol. Easy 5 stars from me, deserved.

   Great plugin but I did notice two issues. 1) The WebPage name in Yoast Schema doesn’t get processed correctly. You can fix that with this: add_filter('wpseo_schema_webpage', function($data) { $data['name'] = do_shortcode($data['name']); return $data; }); 2) If you use the Grow Social by Mediavine plugin then the meta tags will not be processed correctly either (will just show [year] etc). An easy fix is to check the option “Disable Open Graph Meta Tags” in Grow Social’s settings. Since I’m using Yoast I don’t think it was really doing anything anyways.
