Genesis Bootstrap Carousel

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.

   What else to say! Marvelous plugin! And for all those who are rating this plugin any lower than 5 stars, this plugin is ONLY for GENESIS framework, as mentioned CLEARLY in the description. Please don not dowvote such a fine plugin, just because you are stupid enough to not READ THE DESCRIPTION! Plugin is lightweight, and I absolutely love the fact that it loads only on the homepage. Thankyou jtallant

   This plugin is absolutely perfect for Genesis themes. There is another slider out there for Genesis that is mobile responsive , but I always had issues with it displaying properly. This one seems to work without any tweaking. For those who rated it low, I think they just didn’t realize it was only for the Genesis framework. If you are looking for a mobile responsive slider that works with Genesis, this is it.

   Seriously…? A plugin that requires a paid-for framework? A rubbish framework at that.

   It’s a great plugin for Genesis. It’s lightweight. I love the fact that you can use it only on the homepage so the js doesn’t load on all pages. You can style it to your convenience. It just works. 5 stars.

   There isn’t even a preview of the plugin available. The force you to purchase a [quack] “framework.” They fail to neglect that its really just a retardified 960gs with all the hooking done for you. :/ I’m sure its a decent plugin but without even the option to preview the plugin without immediately being redirected to a beg-screen I can’t help but give these guys two thumbs down.
