GatherContent 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 · 78% 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.

   Amazingly, the Gather Content people are clearly not maintaining this plugin. We had major import problems and their support had no interest in helping (despite being paid customers of the service). We now have to manually move over 500 content items and are really not happy. It might work for you, but you take the risk of being stuck and getting no support.

   I just used this plugin to handle field mapping when exporting content from one WordPress site into another one, with different fields and taxonomies, and it was super helpful. It helped that we were already using GatherContent as part of our editorial workflow. Especially helpful was the ability to concatenate text fields with no code. It made it easy handling importing content from a complex custom post type in the old site to a simpler custom post type in the new site. Thanks for your excellent work!

   Awesome way to manage the edit/revision workflow outside of WP and then import it. Huge time and stress saver for large sites. You can view the status if every page of content at a glance!

   I attempted to use this to import 700+ WooCommerce products, which was a big mistake. It became very labor intensive as the plugin doesn’t handle mass amounts of products like this very well, and there are some key pieces that just don’t even work. They’ve promised a new version for a while now.. so I’ll keep checking back to see if the issues have been resolved, as there is a lot of great potential with this plugin, but the execution is currently lacking. I’m a big fan of what this could be!

   The GatherContent WordPress plugin has worked well for us and is a great tool to import the content directly into WordPress. It eliminates data entry mistakes and we are able to route ACF images and Yoast content too. Nice work!

   I have the latest version of WordPress installed and this plugin works well. Sure, it may seem a little “clunky” but that is only said if pushed to find a criticism. However, it DOES function as it should, you can import content using settings for each individual item if you wanted to but there is an option to repeat the configuration (if all your content is going into the same post type etc). All in all a real timesaver!

   The old one works far better. This one forces you to make your imports all posts or all pages. Crap.
