Expand + Collapse Funk

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.

   So this thing inserts some HTML code in your post to make it work. The problem is every time you touch the post with the Visual mode editor you mess it up. We dropped this thing immediately once the first user reported back about how it behaved. We have switched to “Collaps-o-matic”, which is implemented with visible shortcodes. That way you can see what’s going on.

   Despite a misleading video by someone on Youtube, I decided to take a change on this plugin, and as a total WP noob I was able to do what I wanted to do, which was multiple Collapse/Expand paragraphs on the same page. I don’t know if it is functional enough for advanced users, but hey, for a newbie like me, this free app is great. Good work, and thanks!

   I was hopeful for this plugin but the mark-up produced via the editor button becomes messy if you’re adding one collapsible content after another. I added two test inputs and ended up with with nesting resulting in the functionality for each breaking: <div class="exp-col-content-holder"> <a class="expand-cnt-link" href="#">test</a> <div class="hidden-content"> <p class="hiddenContentp">test</p> <div class="exp-col-content-holder"> <a class="expand-cnt-link" href="#">test 2</a> <div class="hidden-content"> <p class="hiddenContentp">test 2</p> </div> </div> <p class="hiddenContentp"></p> </div> </div> The editor button needs to produce a short-code, NOT mark-up, to avoid messy mark-up. The expected shortcode syntax would eliminate this issue and save the user from manually having to correct the mark-up. I’ve opted for this plugin instead: https://wordpress.org/plugins/azurecurve-toggle-showhide/

   I am using this for a college textbook site which uses many conditional statements, custom content types, and custom fields. Works great and is mobile-friendly.
