Extended Post Status

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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   Very straightforward plugin to set up, and probably worked great in the older days. But unfortunately it’s too glitchy to use with the latest Gutenberg editor. Custom statuses won’t show up the newly reworked post status pane (WP 6.6+), but do show up lower down in a separate pane. It also messes up the behavior of the Save/Update/Publish button in the editor to the point where I’m totally baffled about what it does anymore. For example, if you make a change to a DRAFT or PENDING post, there’s no longer an UPDATE button. There’s a SAVE button, but it behaves erratically—like automatically publishes things without warning. So I find it unfit for public use at this point.

   I wasn’t able to achieve this functionality with my own coding, but this plugin does the job! It really helps smooth out a complicated workflow.

   “just” a perfect plugin. I tried to put together the code for this feature myself, but some parts didn’t want to come together. I should have found this plugin first. thanks to the developer!
