No Self Ping

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 · 26% 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.

   Manually disabling self-pings via functions.php stopped working for me a few months ago. So I had to rely on this plugin. I’m happy to say that it works properly. Also, it doesn’t annoy me with notifications or tries to sell me some upgrades. It just runs invisibly in the background. The dev answers questions quickly and in a friendly manner, which is much appreciated.

   Doesn’t work anymore. Sadly, I get self-pings again when linking to previous posts in new blog posts.

   It seems as if the plugin has finally stopped working. No matter what I do – I can still see my own trackbacks.
