Easy Featured Images

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.

   Really very simple tool at the back end. A number of plug ins I use require featured images for display, and this helps me track them down and add or edit them quickly without drilling down into full edit. Thank you very much.

   The thumbnail column shows up and displays the featured image. But when one is missing, clicking “Add” to add an image works, but the image doesn’t show up.
