Leira Letter Avatar

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.

   The plugin does what it’s supposed to do – makes threaded comments more visually appealing by adding letter avatars.

   The plugin works great. You just need to keep track of the number of avatars created. When you delete a user, the avatars remain. Those who have many registrations need to know this. Perhaps the author will solve this issue in the future.

   Why this is not a feature in wordpress? Much other nonsense has been added in recent years…. This plugin is must have! Thanks to the options for the settings of colors and number of letters, I can “unfortunately” do not see a reason for feature requests. 😉 Phenomenal!
