Kaya QR Code Generator

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 · 88% 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.

   Works well, only thing missing is direct block editor support. Shortcodes are easy to use, but of course some users would find editing things within the blockeditor easier…

   Uses technical jargon, and the QR code sent users to my own website, which was odd. The settings and the code generator should be on separate screens.

   This plugin was just what I needed. No subscription, easy to install and setup. Lots of display options, highly recommended. I love the option to create and download any custom link. That makes this plugin totally useful. Thanks for your work!

   WordPress should not allow plugins to create their own menu, especially not if it is just a simple plugin with one function. I don’t need your stupid Kaya Studio promotional crap permanently added to my admin menu!

   The shortcode works well but there is no support for a logo. It also doesn’t support “'” and similar html entities in the text. This topic was modified 3 years ago by Dennis Bareis.
