Post Kinds

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.

   I use very few WordPress plugins these days, having reimplemented most of the functionality I need into my custom theme, but this one’s still essential. Thanks for your hard work!

   It works well with the Classic Editor, but not Gutenberg. If you use Gutenberg, you have switch over to Classic to set a Post Kind.

   … but I think there are way too many post kinds.

   The recent upgrades/changes to this recently are fantastic, particularly for bookmarked articles. The tabbed layout in the UI is a nice change, as well as the AJAX retrieve which now allows easier modification after-the-fact.

   A couple of competing ways of handling indieweb metadata on WordPress have come and gone and Post Kinds has kind of emerged as the megazord combination of them all and acts as an excellent central point for getting a WordPress install indiewebified quickly.
