Hashtag

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.

   Good idea in theory, but the code interferes with Web-Dorado’s Photo Gallery plugin code, causing galleries to not load properly. Disable this plugin, and Web-Dorado’s works again.

   I would have given this 5 stars but the issue I have run across is this: it messes with other code in my wordpress site. As we know some symbols that show up on our sites are made up of code that is parsed and some of those codes start with the # sign and when I use this plugin on my site those codes show up as clickable links on all my pages and post’s. When I find a solution to this I may use it again. This is not a complaint, its just something I noticed with my site using this plugin.
