Mark New Posts

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 · 79% 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.

   Searching for a tool that shows new blogs on my website, finaly find it and it works great. It shows a “News” button and it highlights the blog text. After opening the blog the buton disapears to show that the user reads the blog. Perfect and easy. Suggestion: Place multiple buttons or give multiple choice of buttons like “Live” “Coming up”, or customizable fields… This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by emilegutenkauf.

   I am genuinely grateful for such a nifty plugin. Although it was not easy to find, as soon as I found it it was working perfectly in seconds. How WordPress does not have anything like this as core functionality is beyond me. Thank you for your contribution and sharing this lifesaver of a plugin.
