Kudos

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 · 100% 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.

   I’ve tried this on a couple of different themes to no avail — simply installing the plugin (with no other plugins installed) will throw the server into a palsy with: HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request. I’ve tried this with two different themes, two different servers, no other active plugins. What can I do to help fix this? I love the svbtle designs and I think a good plugin for kudos would be a real winner — but it has to work.

   Hi, I implemented the Kudos on my site, doidos.com.ar. You should work on make it easier for non devs to use it in their site and provide documentation on the Shortcodes / Functions. It was a puzzle to solve how to call the function to display the Kudos as wanted! What I would add: – A shortcode to show Kudos on pages/post/custom post types/templates Thanks and go on!
