Flexy Breadcrumb

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 · 93% 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.

   I only use the short code and it works perfectly [flexy_breadcrumb] I don’t understand why a longer code was suggested by some reviewer…. This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by pressattache11. This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by pressattache11.

   I personally only use the shorter code entered into any of the “text “widgets Go into Customizing/widgets/(now choose area you want it to be placed at)add a widget/text Enter [flexy_breadcrumb] into the text field UPDATE: looked like the best breadcrumb plugin, but today I noticed that it doesn’t work with my secondary menu properly. It shows Home and after that immediately the page I am on, skipping all the hierarchy like if it doesn’t exist. I use Simple Grid pro theme btw. That’s a pity, because I really liked it otherwise.

   I’ve been looking everywhere for the perfect breadcrumbs plugin for ages. Either they were all wrong or screwed up my installation when they updated. This one is perfect, and I couldn’t be happier with it. All I suggest is that in your display instructions, you post the full code to add to your .php files. You say that all you have to do is add the [flexy_breadcrumb] short code. That’s true if you add it within the editor, but it took me awhile to figure out that to add it to the file itself, you have to add it in this way: <?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[flexy_breadcrumb]’ ); ?> This little bit of detail won’t be self-evident to some people, so I think you should let them know that this is how you add it. Otherwise, job well done!
