Genesis Dambuster

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 · 95% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This is a fantastic plugin: easy to use and it opens up so many creative possibilities for landing pages and other layouts. Just another great plugin by Russell Jamieson!

   Firstly, the plugin itself is perfect – it allows you to keep your Genesis theme (or elements of the theme) where you need it, and turn off other elements (or the entire theme) on specific pages, post and custom content types – incredibly useful granular control. Secondly, the support has been amazing. I have come to rely on this plugin so much, that when I installed a Genesis theme that wasn’t supported I was stuck (they have a site to check support, which I didn’t check)… I posted a quick support request, thinking I’d likely have to wait a long time for support – if it came at all, as it is a free plugin. However, within minutes they’d replied promising an update to the plugin later that day. Thank you!!!

   I have installed it few minutes ago. I am using Genesis Sample Child Theme and Gutenberg. After have installed it no options appear in the panel. Neither in Genesis setting and any page itself. Did I make anything wrong?

   I had been looking at getting a “builder” plugin for custom pages, when I came across this nifty little plugin. It is PERFECT! In fact with Dambuster, you don’t even need a builder plugin, because using it + the built in Genesis column classes allows you to create the same layout functionality without a lot of bloat. Thanks for making this.

   I spent hours coding a landing page template that I wasn’t happy with. I discovered this plugin, added Beaver Builder, and 15 minutes later I had a clean looking landing page that I’m thrilled with. Thanks!!

   Thank you, Russell Jamieson, for creating such a simple yet powerful add-on for Genesis / Beaver Builder users. This is a MUST HAVE for the digital toolbox. Works perfectly. Wish I had found it sooner. Cheers.
