Pages In 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.

1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

   Very good job, simple, light and functional. The only issue is that it is not working anymore with WordPress 5.4.2 🙁

   Only Title appears, and then nothing. Page is simple text with few images. <div class=”homepage_section”> </div> in between blank. Does not load page at all.

   This plugin works perfectly because sometimes you just can’t get those specific sections/widgets on the homepage looking the way you want, niice 😎 I actually combined mine with the Page Builder by SiteOrigin plugin to section the pages out for that part, and of course this Pages In Widgets plugin to get the page/section/widget right where I need it.

   This is a great plugin, and made it much easier for me to create complex page structures yet still provide a usable update mechanism for my client. Love it. I did have a problem for some months with this plugin apparently breaking other things and preventing other shortcodes from running (because disabling it or using an old version appeared to fix the presenting problem) and Jayde was helpful, letting me know each time a new version came out and asking if that fixed it. It turns out it must have been a ‘multi-factorial’ as, with recent updates to other plugins and WordPress itself, the problem has gone away.

   Works perfect! I’m just glad I searched for it. Don’t be fooled by low download count.
