Options for Twenty Twenty-One

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 · 55% 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.

   I once had a sidebar thanks to this plugin. And it was great, and I liked it. But one day, it disappeared and it is now part of the premium options. So I have no sidebar anymore.

   I hand code, I needed a foundation to build on but most were not what I was looking for. Options for Twenty-One really fit my needs. Now I have a strong foundation to recommend and build on for future clients! Turn key format, easy on and off settings and adjustments. Well done!

   IMO this is the best plugin for adding extra options to your Twenty Twenty-One theme. The same applies to other plugins from the “Options for” series. Support from developer (Oliver) is great and very fast. Recommended!

   I installed the plugin and immediately found my way around and got what I wanted! Although there are x options, they are usable and work without any problems.

   I absolutely love this product and will use future products to build my websites. Also great support. I really needed help and the support was fast and on point and I was able to get on with my product. I highly recommend using this company not only for the great product but they appear to be genuinely good honest people. Thank you for your help.

   Highly recommend the premium add-on for Twenty Twenty-One. I wanted just a little more ability to edit some design details of the standard options. I found the extra functionality was well worth the expense. I also like that I don’t have to renew the fee each year. One and done. There was a minor hiccup when I tried to activate the purchase, but I received a really fast reply and solution to resolve it. 5 stars!

   I’ve been a bit of a pest to these guys – not intentionally, but I am a bit of a pedant. Anyway, suffice it to say, they took it all in good sport. And their upgrade plug in for WP 2021 is just what the doctor ordered. Having great fun playing around with all the options. Well done you lot.
