Micropub

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 · 82% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I tried hard to use/apply micropub on my wordpress site (to install the plugin, the very 1-st step) on wordpress – very frustrated up to now. The micropub is quite basic and universal tool, which change the whole approach to blogging, wordpressing, etc. Did not find any good description here! Not sure if wordpress.com or wordpress.org allow this at all (not sure even which version of wordpress I use: all I tried now came to vicious circles without any progress, new knowledge or even satisfaction after quite reasonable efforts) p.s. There are many plugins in principle on wordpress, but what are they for, if you can not use/apply such a basic tool a micropub (for simplest notes)?

   No settings, no problem. It doesn’t need any. This plugin implements the developing Micropub standard in as simply a way as possible. Maps Micropub to built-in WordPress functions and extensible for more functionality. Kudos to the developer.
