Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

I always had this problem, and while searching I came across your plugin. It’s great that you can open and close the admin so easily

the restore button is supposed to be an arrow but it’s showing as a magnifying glass which does not work to slide it back out. it’s broken or something but it’s not usable.

WordPress transients are not working. I tested it with a clean install of WordPress 6.0 and the toolbar state is not saved. I have to click the button every time I refresh the page. This topic was modified 4 years, 1 month ago by Eric.
