WP Duplicate – WordPress Migration Plugin

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 plug-in requires you to create an account at a separate website. The account creation function doesn’t work, so you therefore can’t use the plugin.

   This saved me a ton of work and was very easy to use – first I had problems due to a bug but the dev reached out to me and upladed the patch within an hour – and all that for free, what more do you want? 🙂 Recommend!All sites, wiki, pictures copied with new URLs attached – thanks WP Duplicate!!

   I have been using this plugin on a couple of projects, and it works as expected. I did have one minor issue and support was able to help me pretty quick. I look forward to seeing this plugin developed further.

   Worst local development plugin, ever, Period. The plugin doesn’t even give you proper notifications, just plain errors, not even documentation. The Pro is a waste of money and time; Now wished I had time to test the plugin thoroughly during my 14 days trial period.
