Staff/Employee Business Directory for Active Directory

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.

8 of the last 13 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

   The directory plugin accomplished exactly what our team was looking for, and the mini orange support team worked with us the entire way to customize the plugin to our needs. They were able to add additional features that let us accomplish the goal functionality. They were fantastic to work with and the plugin has really made our new site a breeze when it comes to displaying an entire school directory.

   We use the Staff / Employee Business Directory plugin for our intranet and needed a special configuration that deviates from the standard. We also needed a translation and some layout adjustments, so we opted for the premium version and a customisation package. The developers are very competent, helpful and respond quickly without long waiting times. Highly recommended.

   Works like a rock! After I took the ldap off in front of the ip address, it started working. Works very smooth. This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by mauke.

   It’s always great to find a plugin that’s suits very specific needs and easy to handle. I managed to set up and check the basic funcionality in just 15 minutes, even though I’m not an expert in AD, servers, or WordPress. We decided to go for the premium version, and the support team has been quick to respond and helpful through all process.
