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 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. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #10,100 to #11,100, alongside the other plugins at 300+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

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 4 months ago; the previous band took 15 months to cross, which places it about 71% of the way through.

   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!
