Multisite Blog Alias

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #49,700 to #68,000, alongside the other plugins with fewer than 10 installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

wp.org reports no install count for this plugin yet.

   This let me do exactly what I needed to do in the most ideal/streamlined/WordPress-integrated way I could imagine it being implemented (it can be so annoying when plugins create their own admin page layout, tables, tabs, styles, etc. when they could’ve/should’ve just used what WordPress offers for those as standard, like this plugin has done.) It’s flexible depending on certain needs & even has WP-CLI commands without having feature creep of stuff that’s unrelated to this plugin’s core goal (also on GitHub and doesn’t have any ads/promos/upgrades like other plugins.) Even the “Check Status” tool when viewing a site’s domain alias(es) is capable (checks many different possible situations [great to see the whatsmydns.net mention for if/when a DNS change might be needed]) yet concise to then be addressed swiftly. I simply network-enabled the plugin, edited the site details to add the Alias Domain(s), and it worked! This plugin really checked off every box to have this be a top-recommended plugin for this (now more people just need to find out about this & use it instead of hard-coding redirects/rewrites or using plugins that, simply put, aren’t as nice as this one. Honestly, this seems like a go-to if/when a WordPress multi-site network has a site on it that wants to use “www.” as the primary domain of the site while then not including “www.” has WordPress wanting to show either the “register a site” or “you cannot register a site here” since it’s considered as a different subdomain & therefore a different site (even though a site that doesn’t want to use “www.” still resolves properly when that is provided in the URL)… maybe WordPress core will make that no longer needing to be manually accommodated, but this is now my favored way to handle this (replacing rewrites/redirects [especially if/when on nginx or some other hosting setup that might be more restrictive where WordPress should probably just handle it.]) Even the “Donate to this plugin” link for this plugin’s details on WP.org is currently going to UN Refugees instead of themselves. This plugin has really earned its praise. This topic was modified 2 years, 1 month ago by KZeni.
