Marquee Running Text

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.

   I used the Free version and it allows you to add up to 5 “marquees” or text sections. It automatically puts the marquee at the very top of your pages (use Astra Pro theme). No way to add “marquees” more then the 5 provided. No descenders on lettes like Y P etc so doesn’t look professional. Contacted developer after I bought the Pro and found it adds another Plugin. Developer said both are not needed but can’t figure out how to make the Pro work. This plugin (free) has great potential – got a answer that basically said the plug in is great and upgrade to Pro. Latter the developer sent another email with helpful information. https://youtu.be/p_K5x5r0wyU I use Astra Pro as a theme and I couldn’t get the Pro version of the Marquee product to work at all and the free didn’t have descenders on letters like Y & P so I didn’t use it either.

   What a wonderfull and easy to use plugin. it’s very lightweight and works very well. Options I would add if possible:* option to change the round bullet to something else* option to remove round bullet* option to add spacing between text1, text2, text3,…* option to slide text1 from left then text2 from right and so on* option to add text flicker for text1 and text2…
