Oomph Clone Widgets

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 · 100% 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.

   If you hover your mouse to the right of the + symbol it will work and duplicate… But since I was designing this website for a client I had to find a fix so they could click the actual + symbol. I ended up fixing this issue by adding some CSS so now you can hover over the actual + symbol. Here’s the fix. add this to your functions.php. Minor CSS fixes it. function custom_admin_css() { echo '<style type="text/css"> .widget-top a.widget-action, .widget-top a.widget-action:hover { padding: 1px; display: inline-block; } </style>'; } add_action('admin_head', 'custom_admin_css');

   Same behaviour as other users here: the “+” sign just opens the widget. It doesn’t duplicate.

   This plugin worked great, but now when I add a widget to a sidebar for the first time it gets added twice and when I click on the plus sign it just opens the widgets settings… :-/

   As the prior reviewer said “I have the + next to all widgets, but clicking that just opens up the widget settings.”

   Worked great, but then along the way now it does not. I have the + next to all widgets, but clicking that just opens up the widget settings. Not sure what’s going on, but would give this 5*s if it work would again 🙂 cheers, Jigs

   Adds a + button to all your widgets. Press the + button and it creates a duplicate of that widget. Drag the duplicate to another area. Simple, effective. Thank you for creating this very valuable plugin!
