Profile Box Shortcode And Widget

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 · 66% 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.

   8o% of users use mobile devices. Responsive should be standard on all plugins but it is not. The same goes for this one. Out of date This topic was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by amorino1980.

   Excellent plugin, updated to the last version of wp (4.8). Widget auto width needs to be improved for responsive.

   You can add many like boxes because this plugin also works in CPT. You can show your different facebook profiles.

   The widget is not responsive ie the function to scale widget width does not work, it only allows fixed width.

   Facebook Likebox Widget & Shortcode Plugin For WordPress works ok as a widget but I cannot find any shortcode. I did find a promise of future plans for shortcode in the support section. ********** EDIT ********** They’ve been working on the plugin and improving it, added the shortcode and so I have bumped up my rating a star This topic was modified 9 years, 7 months ago by jjanthony. Reason: Plugin update

   The plugin itself is good and very easy to use. It offers all the options you need to display your facebook widget. However, today I discovered that the plugin includes a back link to the developers website, which is hidden from view using display:none styling. I’m fine with developers including an option to turn on/off a back link, which is also stated as in the plugin development guidelines. But hiding these links from view without consent of the user is not only undesirable but I believe it also violates the plugin guidelines: The plugin must not embed external links on the public site (like a “powered by” link) without explicitly asking the user’s permission. Any such options in the plugin must default to NOT show the link. source Where the guidelines say, “default to NOT show the link”, I don’t think they mean that it is ok to hide it by using css. Also, such hidden links can inflict your SEO score, since Google and other search engines don’t like these. So, although the plugin is very good, only one star because of such very bad practice. UPDATE The author fixed the issue, so now the plugin is worth its five stars.

   This plugin is very easy to configure and use : you just have to go to widget menus in order to put the right parameters and display it !
