  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.20.

Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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.

    Brilliant plugin with great support, I have used it on several sites and it makes for pretty and functional widgets in the sidebar. After the recent WordPress update to 5.8 introduced the stupid block editor, you couldn’t select a page/post in the plugin. The workaround is to just opt out of that new interface by installing the official Classic Widgets plugin then all is good again 🙂

    What a great little plugin. Does exactly what I needed and it’s very customizable for custom themes. Documentation and examples on filters were easy to understand and incorporate.

    WOW is all i can say this widget was super easy to set up and it took my theme to the next level. I was hand-coding what this widget already accomplishes so much better. Along with this I installed relevanassi for search, so I could add my featured snippet to each page on my site. Now I can feature a widget the proper way, with a pic and a snippet! Thanks to this plugin my site is complete! You guys are awesome… im donating some $$

    This widget is easy to set up and customize and is perfect for allowing non-techie users to feature different posts/pages/custom post types on areas of a site.
