Easy Digital Downloads – Store Hours

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.

   I downloaded this originally from EDD’s website. This is the only automatic close store plugin that I could find for Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) as I need to close my store (the checkout part) once a week. Had an issue and the EDD team got it fixed. I added a time schedule to close the store and it works. It does need more features though, such as having a notification bar appear when store is closed (front-end) as right now the message is added over the buy/checkout buttons. Meaning, if your Buy/checkout buttons say “Purchase now”, it will be replaced by your custom message, such as “Store is closed today, come back tomorrow and you’ll be able to checkout!” So, the buttons are very wide now. I suggested for them to add a feature where the buttons remain the same but upon clicking them a pop-up appears with a message that store is closed, or you’re taken to another page where a message is displayed. Or, add a notification bar on top of website somehow or a pop-up floating around the site. Great plugin nonetheless!

   So… generally speaking, reviewing your own work seems fairly silly… of course you’re going to give it five stars! That said… this is one of my personal favorite plugins we’ve written. It’s designed with extensibility in mind, and is one of the most versatile plugins in our collection… check it out!
