Mango Buttons

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank

wp.org popularity rank over time · lower is better

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.

   Doesn’t even work and is very outdated.

   Great plugin does what it promises, I tried to find others and even the Premiums do not exceed the free version of this plugin. A pity that the developer abandoned it, I tried to buy the premium version and the site is offline.

   I am confirming this plugin works perfectly till date without being updated for last 2 years. This is the best and lightweight button plugin I have ever used. Mango Button has all essential features even being free plugin. This topic was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by rakshitsukanta.

   I love this plugin. I have tried others and nothing beats this for simplicity and flexibility. I have used it on a number of projects to allow site managers an easy and intuitive method for adding basic call-to-action buttons via the WP dashboard. Hoping the developer will continue to provide updates to this excellent plugin.

   I’ve tried a ton of button creator plugins over the past few days but to be honest, most of them are subpar. Mango Buttons definitely deserves to be at the top of the list as it is easy to use, and provides beautiful defaults + customizations. Thanks for creating a great plugin!

   Using it with 4.8.2 no issue. It shows nice preview in editor which is helpful.

   Mango Buttons … an outstanding little plugin which allows you to create CALL TO ACTION buttons and insert them wherever you want. I use the PREMIUM version which is my donation to the developer though I benefit in many ways. This app is outstanding for old codgers who are not that skilled with computers for numerous reasons: 1. You install the app transparently; no need for code knowledge; no need for insert code wherever that may be needed…simply install and watch the plugin icon appear on your editing page. Marvellous. 2. Use of the plugin is a no brainer. Simply decide on your button location, click on the Mango button and follow the three step process…button appearance/colour; button text and button URL. Once you have done the 3 steps, bingo, Bob’s your uncle…you’re done. Easy peasy…even I figured it out. 3. Editing buttons…talk about simplicity…double click on the button in your edit window and simply redo the 3 creation steps with your correction. This developer deserves the highest praise for keeping his plugin amazingly simple in installation and use, yet dynamically efficient in what it does. Man, if all developers took a couple of pages from this developer, there would be no need for WP gurus to help with support. Lots of lost jobs. I cannot say enough good things about this plugin. The premium version lets you do a few more things, but the free version does more than is needed. Plugins by this developer are simply OUTSTANDING !! Richard Szpin
