JVM Rich Text Icons

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 · 31% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   If you see:Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property JVM_acf_field_jvm_rich_text_icons::$settings is deprecated in /wp-content/plugins/jvm-rich-text-icons/src/fields/class-jvm_acf_jvm_rich_text_icons5.php on line 55To temp-fix it, edit:/wp-content/plugins/jvm-rich-text-icons/src/fields/class-jvm_acf_jvm_rich_text_icons5.phpFind:class JVM_acf_field_jvm_rich_text_icons extends acf_field {Change it to: class JVM_acf_field_jvm_rich_text_icons extends acf_field { public $settings; // add this line The issue happens because PHP 8.2+ no longer allows creating dynamic properties on objects that don’t explicitly declare them. The plugin jvm-rich-text-icons is trying to assign a property $settings to an object that doesn’t declare it in the class. This isn’t immediately fatal, but it’s deprecated and will cause issues in future PHP versions.

   I love this very ergonomic and very quick solution for inserting icons in buttons and titles for example. In addition, it is compatible with the site editor (FSE) This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by Cyril Seguenot.

   I can imagine something like this becoming part of core. Very well developed essential addon for the block editor

   Just what I was looking for – you saved me hours of work! I was just wondering why you decided to include FA4 instead of a newer version (they are also free and have a ton more icons) Still, great work

   Does what it should do, and nothing more (and that is what we want from good plugins). It comes with some filters that are handy for those who don’t want to load FA assets or add BS icons or w/e.

   It works really well, and it’s very flexible. I wish it had a dedicated block as an additional option for those cases where we just one to add an icon without depending on any other blocks (like Paragraph). Still, it does its job, so it’s a 5-stars.

   This is exactly what I needed to bring the reader’s eye to a text paragraph inviting them to follow us on a few socmed platforms. The inserted icons are subtle, but effective… and responsive! This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by GwenetteWriter.
