How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    I use this plugin for years. There was a time where facebook feeds weren’t working any more. I wrote to the team and they explained me that they are working from Ukraine, that’s what explains there difficulty to update the plugin at this time. In the meantime, they solved the issues and made the necessary update. May the force be with them.I juste added another Facebook feed today on a new auth to the Facebook API and everything was fluent and without issue, and also very simple to do.

    I had so many headaches with other social feed plugins but not with this one. Straightforward and nothing complicated. Very much appreciated!

    Seems the creators don’t care for their product anymoe. Therefore it’s now broken. Don’t install!
