FT Signature Manager

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 · 100% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I’ve used this plugin for years, but it needs updating. Hyperlinks within the signature file no longer work.

   Works very well with the version 4.3.1. Very easy to set up. It is not necessary to change any line code. It works with multiple authors, with a custom signature for each author. Does not work with quotes. If you need to use image or link, you can enter the HTML without the quotes. example: <a href=URL><img src=IMG_URL></a> If you want to write a quote, a text for example, so that the quotes appear without error, use the html ASCII code as the following (http://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_html_ascii.asp): &#ASCII_CODE;

   Sadly, if you have quotes in your signature – (ie. in a link or image) it fails.

   Great plugin, but no longer accepts HTML in WordPress 3.5. Let’s hope the developer manages to see this and do something about it.
