Enhanced Header / Footer Injections

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.

   Gives bunch of “Warning” errors. Clearly not updates for a long time.

   Plugin worked great for my needs. I wanted a plugin that would allow me to insert header meta data to instruct Facebook on what images to offer when sharing based on these instructions. It worked like charm.

   I enabled the plugin, added a global footer with some html-code enabled it for pages which is the only thing I’m using. Result = nothing added. In footer.php I only use: <footer>wp_footer();</footer>

   I’ve used a plugin called HiFi (Header Injection Footer Injection) for quite some time. I loved it’s simplicity and functionality. With WordPress version 3.5, that plugin suddenly stopped working and wasn’t in the repository any more. So I found this one. It does essentially the same thing with even more bells and whistles. I love that it doesn’t add any additional comments or other fluff to the code – just what you type in and nothing more! I can’t express how much I appreciate that. I only have one complaint (this can be read as “feature request”) about this plugin – I would love to see the ability to restrict it’s use based on the role. For example, an administrator can use it, but an editor can not.

   I wanted to edit the header and footer on just one page, it does the trick. Thanks to the author!
