Pager 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 · 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.

   I use this plugin for some years now: it’s impressively simple but equally useful – with the help of some added css for esthetics. I appreciate how useful it is for creating categorised pagination, so i’m very glad to see that you (developer) keep actualizing the source base. Big thanks for this! 🙏 This topic was modified 1 year, 12 months ago by nudnavda.

   The story mode on this plugin makes it almost do what I needed it to do, which was page through an entire section of content with a title level, chapter level, and page level. I just don’t like that in this mode my very top level page still has a back button, which I had to work around. But this is easy to do with custom CSS on that particular page: /* hides the previous button on the first page */ #linksPrevNext a:first-child{ display: none; } /* hides the next button on the last page */ #linksPrevNext a:last-child{ display: none; } Having this as a widget is nice because you can decide exactly where you want it to appear. I am using “widgets on pages”, to just include it on pages where I want it to show up. It would be nice if you could still have a parent button in story-mode, but then just specify where you want that link to go. I recommend this plugin anyone trying to simply add some previous and next navigation to pages on your site. This plugin works well. This topic was modified 7 years, 4 months ago by timbobo.
