Frontend Post Submission Manager Lite – Frontend Posting WordPress Plugin

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 · 46% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.

   Excellent plugin. It allows easy translation of terms on the user side. It works well and offers very good value for money. The support is responsive. I would have liked a setting to determine how users can see submitted articles in the dashboard (privacy by user or according to the default rules of wordpress). It offers submission of articles according to 4 statuses, which results in the creation of as many buttons if we want to give all the possibilities to the user. It is surprising at first.Despite these two reservations, I really like this plugin!
