Meks Time Ago

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.

   Nice simple plugin that works well. Unfortunately it includes an upsell notice unrelated to the plugin on each admin screen.

   I would like to thanks developpers of this plugins, which works very well with extra theme from elegant theme. Is it very simple to use and efficient. I wonder however if it supports caching ? will there be future update for the latest releases of wordpress ? my site is running on a litespeed server.NB: it is the only plug-in i know which does that job…

   I’m gonna give it 1 star for the time being because it’s neither compatible with custom themes nor seems to be any support. whenever you fixed the issue just let me know and I’ll promote ! Update: I just noticed that ClassiPress has it own time ago system and Meks Team helped me to fix some issues. I’m gonna give it 5 stars for their support !

   Hi, I just want to share my thoughts on this one. 🙂 Plugins is very easy to install and setup, it deserves 5 start for sure. I would only recommend moving its setting from General settings page to some more visible spot inside admin navigation.

   Me gusta mucho, aunque realmente pienso que WordPress debería incluir ”de serie“ una función para activar esto.
