Fuse Social Floating Sidebar

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 · 84% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Paid for this plugin over a month ago. Never got an email or license code. Have Emailed them on three separate occasions with zero response. Worthless…

   I needed some time to figure out that it is this plugin that breaks the icon preview in the Avada 7 live editor. For development, I’m disabling the plugin now, but this issue should be fixed soon. (screenshot: pls see my request at support forum – may not upload it here)

   There’s no support for this plugin. Console shows problems in the code.

   Plugin is loading icons from external resources. Using own svg files doesn’t give the same options to configure them. This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by KnallBlauMedia.

   Worked perfectly for what was required. Free Version Works Very Well. PRO version is 4mb so you might have to increase your upload capacity. Would Recommend.
