Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare 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.
Estimated active installs

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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 can’t understand why this hasn’t ben more widely publisized. There are dozens of so-called fixes and complex plugins online and few of them actually work. This does exactly what is needed in the right way so that it doesn’t involve tinkering with CSS or pdp files! Thank you.

Did what no other plugin I tried could do, made it possible to use the MailChimp *|RSSITEM:IMAGE|* merge tag.

Amazing! I know a bit of HTML but I’m a content marketer, not a developer by any means. I was going through forums and pulling my hair out thinking there’s no way I’d ever figure out how to get this done. Then I found this plugin and just clicked install and BAM – all the images are now pulled into my MailChimp RSS newsletter. I literally did nothing besides install and activate. Great work!

I just installed and activated this plugin and the images are now showing on Preview in Mailchimp. I haven’t sent out my RSS-to-email campaign just yet but it seems to be working. Thanks for this easy-to-use plugin.

Thank you so much for putting this plugin together! It worked perfectly! My revised RSS feed went out this morning and the Featured Image was right at the top like I wanted! [ link redacted, please do not post links in reviews ]

Like you read my mind! I had to go in and update my latest post and purge cache, but just like that I could see the add to my feed’s xml and sure enough it adds the image into MailChimp. thank you. jb @BuildingMoxie
