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.

How 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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>With the update to version 1.2.0 all previously created before/after sliders are broken and they refuse to fix it. They just don’t seem te care about their users.</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>I’ve created a support ticket to ask for a fix and even listed the steps to reproduce the issue, but they simply say that the plugin improved (so I should be happy?) and blame WordPress for this situation unjustly.</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>With version 1.3.5 it wasn’t possible to create new blocks, but as this plugin didn’t have priority I had to find an alternative. They tried to move me to the full plugin bundle, but that even broke the existing blocks, so that wasn’t an option either.</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>Eventually the plugin was fixed after all, so we’re still using it. Only because recreating alle existing content is too much work. Because of the fix an I’ve given an extra star, but restoring the trust still needs a lot of work.</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by Jos Klever.

    I spent $50 to figure out this plugin was the cause for a white screen of death in the post editor. The image comparison function is included in the WPDeveloper Essential Blocks for Gutenberg plugin. This plugin should be removed from the wordpress store to eliminate confusion!
