Employee Spotlight – Team Member Showcase & Meet the Team Plugin

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 · 79% 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 really like this plugin. Very simple and flexible to setup and use. A super upgrade from the static HTML page I made years ago.

   Could add ability to display employees with different sorting, keeping the boss in first position.

   Hello, I want to create a management page on a union website. I cannot interfere with the ranking. If I make a new recording, it is placed at the top of the list. The list, which will continue, such as president, vice president, etc. How can I fix the sorting issue? Thank you.

   Works great, but wondering if there are a way to change the colors used? I can change the circle color around the images, but I can not change the lightblue grid.
