Kento Splash Screen

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #18,200 to #19,000, alongside the other plugins at 70+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

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.

Crossed into this band 6 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   When clicking on your preview link you get to a porn page, then it’s not promising. And if you did it for fun, then get a life man! If your site has been hacked, it shows you are not very much supporting your products.

   Tried this but found more bugs than good features. It is impossible to close it even using coding tricks, it is ugly, it does not re-adapts and only works pasting the code on each single page… I wasted my time trying it WordPress Popup is the BEST

   Thanks. Would be nice if there was an option for closing button. Anyway, I guess it can be done with extra code. (In mobile if you use the “Back” button to bypass splash screen whole page closes. That’s why I need a close button.) Edit: —— * To Close the Splash Screen and Refresh the Same Page I used this code: <button type=”button” onClick=”history.go(0)”>X</button> There might be a better way but for now this method is working fine. + If you don’t want the Splash Screen to popup in every refresh but if you want it to popup at a certain interval, then you should go to index.php of the plugin and then find …setcookie(‘kento_splash_screen’, 1, time()+xxx. Then change xxx to any seconds you like. For example for a daily popup : 60x60x24 = 86400 (Place 86400 instead of xxx) Check out the Screen Shot

   I was hoping this would work. I had written my own basic lightbox popup but i wanted to try something better, and the demo for this looks great, unfortunately it kept conflicting with my site. I tried it on 4 different domains, and the slider would crash on each. maybe a javascript conflict ? not sure. im on wordpress 3.8 & 3.7 for the sites i tested it on. if you get a new version i would love to try again and change my rating.
