Post Notification by Email

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.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 3 months ago and the previous band took 3.5 years to cross, so the real count is still just under 2K.

   Great plugin. I wonder if it is possible to notify just editor on new article waiting for review. I refer to articles which have not been published yet and need to be checked by editor first.

   This plugin works very well with a small number of website users. Most email servers limit the number of recipients to 100 or less to prevent SPAM blacklisting of the ISP. If you have more than the limit (ie, 100) of recipients, the entire email fails to send. It has nothing to do with the plugin, it has to do with the email servers. To make this plugin work for bigger user sites, the plugin needs to have a user configurable parameter like “maxrecipients=100” which would force the plugin to parse the user list into multiple emails. It would also be a good idea to add a user configurable parameter like “delaysend=1000” to delay sending each subsequently parsed email so the server doesn’t block because of too many emails per second. SUMMARY: Great tool but needs some refinement for big sites.

   I was very excited when I saw this plugin as it solves a minor issue I have with my website. However there is nowhere for the user to opt out. Since I run a website for sailors who download their data via satphone, they need to be able to switch on or off their email updates. A widget would solve this problem. For the moment, not being able to opt-out makes this plugin only half useful, which is a shame as it has a lot of potential.
