Osom Author Pro

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 · 75% 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.

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. 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.

   The plugin serves a good purpose and it’s a helpful resource with various applications. For my purpose, I use Author Pro to provide book reviews to my audience. Not only has this resource been given new life and is well maintained, the support is amazing – pretty much like no other support I’ve received elsewhere. I appreciate the plugin, and I appreciate the support team even more. This topic was modified 9 months, 1 week ago by Gene_W.

   Really great theme, does everything I want it to do and works great on mobile – fully responsive. Hasn’t been updated in over a year which is a little worrying, but so far so good on wordpress 4.9.2 as I type. I just hope the developers haven’t forgotten about it!

   Really nice plugin for Genesis themes. And right on time (last year) for restyling a website for a writer of children’s books. She loved it.

   Longtime Genesis user here, had to review this one. I just set up the Author Pro theme on a testing site and I LOVE it. Playing around with the design options and having a lotta fun. I’ve had no problems at all with this excellent plugin (well-documented, etc.) and it’s very easy to use. Thank you, also, for the book cover template!
