Easy Charts

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Older reviewers called it the best free chart plugin, but the newer ones report charts vanishing and saved data reverting to the sample values, with feature requests going unanswered and no sign of updates.

   Why is my table not saved with my own data? After making changes and saving the table keeps showing the dummy text of Toyota / Nissan.

   Would like to know about the copy and paste issue, where cell A1 is blank. Would like to know how to adjust space between label rows using bar graph. Would like to know how to remove animation for graph. Almost reminder selecting that option, but can’t recall where it is. Other than those minor issues, I love the simplicity and hope the community or author are able to update it in the near future.

   The plugin worked until yesterday. The image of the chart has disappeared. After a new position has been added.

   Plugin is easy to use and it’s got great features to be free. I’m missing one about creating a new chart from another one, or just to be able to duplicate and edit, for working faster. Thanks!

   I wasted some time to find this gem of a plugin, but I finally did. This is your best choice if you want to add some simple bar charts or other charts to your posts. @plugin author: Thank you

   I’ve tried most if not all of the chart plugins. This one, by far, is the best. It took me a little time to learn how to get what I needed. Nonetheless, I have some wonderful charts. 🙂 Eric
