Light Modal Block

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 · 74% 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.

   This modal block deserves 5-star review as it is very versatile and suits almost any case. Thanks to the developers, there is zero bloat and very lightweight.

   A small suggestion, if you add additional options, like height, a custom additional classes for each separate popup__wrapper – justify /align content and even breaking points, this plugin could be used for much more like Floating Search or Mobile Navigation etc. This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by tamnik.
