Page in Widget

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 · 90% 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.

   Just wanted to let others know that even though this plugin has not been updated in 2 years, it still works as of June 2015 with the most recent version of WordPress. I like this one better than “pages in widget”, because this one uses the theme’s style for the widget title, where “pages in widget” does not. The title has to be typed again, but that is no big deal.

   This is also a nice way to add themed styles to the widget area. since you can use the page styles and advance editors. and it still works!

   Just what I needed. I customized the plugin to show the title of the page: after line 47, I added: $permalink = get_permalink( $page_id ); $myTitle = '<a href="' . get_permalink($page_id) . '" rel="bookmark" title="' . strip_tags(get_the_title($page_id)) . '">' . get_the_title($page_id) . '</a>'; and at the new line 67, I changed “$title” to $myTitle Now if I could just get the “read more” to work…
