Edit Flow

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 · 31% 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 can’t believe I just discovered this plugin today – I’ve been needing something like this for years. It’s exactly everything an online publisher could want for creating, managing, and organizing large amounts of content. The custom post status, the internal notes – it’s really just fantastic – THANK YOU!

   Great plugin, logical interface. But there are two huge downsides: No active support from the developers It does not work on Gutenberg So if you’re not working with Gutenberg (which will be the default editor in WP 5.0) and you have no need for support: go for it! Great plugin! In all other cases: find something better, and let me know what you’ve found, I need a replacement as well 😉

   Been using it for awhile after I stopped a subscription that did both editorial and social. Used another plugin for social and knew of this one. So gave it a run and it does exactly what I need. I create and work on several posts at once and currently post 6 out of 7 days. I need something that keeps me on track. I particularly like the metadata that really keep me on track. Incredible value for a free plugin!

   Este plugin es de gran ayuda para gestionar el calendario editorial en un blog personal, pero cuando se utiliza en un sitio con varios autores o con autores invitados se vuelve imprescindible.

   This plugin caused a problem with the WPML translation plugin. I waited two weeks for a support response. Nothing, no support, nor reply. Other editorial calendars don’t show this conflict.
