JS Archive List

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 · 45% 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.

   Exactly the plugin in I was looking for – A way to show only one of my posts categories in a drop down collapsible menu! I have tried some other plugins, but none of them gave me the customizable options I was looking for.

   I was approaching 100 posts over a 5 year period on my blog, and the stock archive widget was getting very long. I was looking for a new plugin that would shrink down the list, and provide expand/contract options for years and months. Alas I find JS Archive List which provided exactly what I was looking for. It offers a smooth and clean look and feel. A slight problem with the title font/size was quickly resolved with the assistance from the developer. Kudos to a terrific plugin and a helpful responsive developer. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

   I’ve had it pointed out to me that this is no longer working as of Oct 2018 WordPress. It just shows the jquery tag on the page as text.

   Hello Miguel, Jquery archive list widget is great. You have keep the widget simple but effective. It does what it should. it is difficult to find archive widgets or plugins. It is even more difficult to find archive widgets and plugins that show the archives of blog posts, pages or media. Your widget does this and so much more without making it difficult to use. It is also compatible with other widgets and plugins. Thank you for a fantastic widget. I wish you continued success with this widget and all you do. I hope that will consider maintaining this widget and eventually releasing updates. Best wishes
