List Pages Shortcode

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 · 99% 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.

   Your plugin is working well. Ande I see that you are still supporting this, as you answered someones support question just a few weeks ago. I am using your Version 1.7.4, with WordPress 5.2.3 But you might like to know that some users might be warned about it, like this: Wordfence found the following new issues on “my website” Alert generated at Saturday 5th of October 2019 at 07:54:45 PM Medium Severity Problems: * The Plugin “List Pages Shortcode” appears to be abandoned (updated 28 March 2017, tested to WP 4.4.19).

   Using Webaware’s List Pages on several PHP.x web sites. Support for a broken update was excellent with a very rapid resolution. Very much appreciated because we use the code in many places.

   Will give you a barebones list of titles of child pages. If you want more, such as a thumbnail and excerpt, you have to keep on looking.

   Seems to work fine with 4.0. Simple to use and serves just the purpose it intends to.
