Easy Digital Downloads Free Link

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 · 99% 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.

   Other plugin I used stopped working suddenly, I assume it is stopped by EDD because is too old and probably breaks some rules. This plugin, however works very nicely. Great job, webaware!

   I have used this plugin for a number of years and find it very useful – it works exactly as advertised. I decided to post a review today because after something went wrong I needed a bit of support and I was so grateful for the service. The developer is patient and helpful. Thanks for the plugin!

   Been using this plugin on multiple sites since I first found it and EDD. It’s been a pleasure, and Ross was very kind to help me through a problem I once had with it. You won’t be disappointed. This topic was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by kidznc. Reason: Adding some long-term comments

   I use this plugin to make users go to certain page in order to download free plugins. I modified the template by adding target=”_blank” to the URL so it will be opened in new window. Thank you for the plugin!
