No Nonsense

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 · 94% 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.

   This plugin offers settings to remove WordPress core functionality. The interface is nicely setup and the information around each setting is clear. Furthermore the plugin allows developers to extend or change the settings. And last but not least, the developer responds fast and friendly.

   This plugin has many options that are useful to disable built-in features, they are so useful for advanced admins.

   After reading the article/review in WP Tavern, I installed No Nonsense on three sites, turning off several things I find annoying in WP (especially the Widgets Block Editor) and it’s working very well. Thanks!

   Does exactly what it says without an fuss or confusion. Very simple and easy to use. I found myself turning on all the options as they are modifications I like. This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by Patrick Boehner.
