Dynamic Year 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 · 82% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I’ve been using this plugin for a while now, and it’s been a real game-changer for adding copyright info to my footer. And when it comes to fixing issues, the plugin author is super responsive. I’d give it 5 stars! This plugin is amazing! 🙂 Best regards,Ramzesimus

   The plugin does exactly what is says its going to do, without bloat, bragging, advertising etc. Thanks for solving a problem that WordPress should have solved a long time ago!

   Such a simple task now made so easy. I have messed with code over and over for a block theme multisite. All snippets I ever found are shortcode based. This baby adds a dynamic block to blocks. In editor, add it to your footer…. done. Not only that it allows for the pre-text and the post-text before and after, meaning the whole © line is one block and not one before a shortcode and another after … Best of all, it works across all sites on a multisite install. Thx so so so much. Love it!

   I love simple plugins that do what is written in the description. No fluff, no frill, it just add copyright to the block.ThanksRonald

   This plugin is excellent. It does what it says on the tin and then some. All the features you need, nothing you don’t. I used to use a shortcode for this but that doesn’t seem to work consistently anymore in the block editor. Plus, shortcodes in the block editor can be a confusing UX. This is much, much better. I love it when a plugin implements something so well and so thoughtfully — I couldn’t have done it better myself. Thanks so much for your hard work on this, Márcio!
