Advanced File Manager – Ultimate File Manager for WordPress And Document Library Solution

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 · 72% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   There’s one thing I would like: It should work also when the WordPress site is broken due to an invalid PHP.So: You should be able to turn on “debug modus” in the File Manager. To enable you to correct that error.But maybe this is not possible…

   This is a grea plugin. I have only one problem. When I left click on a folder in the left column. It opens and then automatically closes. The only way to see a folder is to right click and select open. Otherwise, I use this plugin all the time.
