Genesis Easy Columns

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.

   Terrific plug-in for creating columns, so easy. More importantly truly AMAZING support. Being new to technology I did not know what I was doing but Matthew(Code96) walked me through it ..BTW it is really an easy installation … I just forgot to check the css box and I panicked. The reality is that all plugin designers should take a page from Matthew’s book of helping users.

   Super plugin and fast friendly support! Much easier than using text expansion or other shortcuts to create column classes.

   Hi Leaders Amazing Plugin, but i think that you need add option to enable/disable the wpautop add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' , 12); this have some problem with some plugins (Revolution Slider or similars)
