Insert Pages

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 · 59% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Super handy way for me to maintain an easy way for reader to quickly jump to any blog post in a series. Noticed with latest update that a parenthesis in the name of an inserted page now causes the insert (via slug) to fail 🙁I have some super long series and am hoping I don’t need to go back into each post in each series and fix the insert call. Update…Paul Ryan immediately rolled out a fix that allows me to continue inserting via page title rather than slug or Page ID. All is now right with the world.

   Thank you very much. Great Plugin. I read an article that I have to use classic editor, but it has a Gutenberg block that works absolutely fine.

   Using the classic WordPress editor with Elementor also installed I was unable to enter the web page that should be inserted.

   I spent 3 days searching for how I could insert a custom post type via a block by searching by ID or name…seems so simple but I couldn’t find anything on how to do it. Finally found this plugin and it’s exactly what I needed to manage a lot of CPTs – thank you so much for creating this!
