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.

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

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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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 have updated the plugin to a new version with the following information: v1.1 – Update Updated to the latest version, ensuring compatibility with the current WordPress version. Fixed existing bugs from the previous version that caused compatibility issues. Thumbnail images and titles are now automatically adjusted based on the widget size. Added new feature: option to display the thumbnail image on the left or right. Introduced a new feature: option to display either the latest posts or random posts. Removed the option to limit the excerpt display. Removed the “Read More” functionality. Please download and use! Thank you so much!
