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 · 75% 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.

   Garbage that doesn’t work. Keeps telling me it doesn’t have the required file permissions which it does and a critical error appears when PDF is clicked. This topic was modified 9 months, 2 weeks ago by dallasmitchell204.

   This plugin does not work with my WordPress that is using the GeneratePress theme. Clicking the PDF button creates a “fatal error” due to the PHP of the plugin not being able to handle when the values of things like “margin-left” are set to ‘auto’. There are multiple instance in the code when a string is multiplied or counted, which makes fatal errors This topic was modified 2 years, 6 months ago by ephoris.

   FTY: This plugin doesn’t support dynamic pages. On WP 6.2, I have tried with and without using a shortcode and one generates a PDF with a title and no other contents and the other generates a completely blank page. The non-shortcode test was for “Plants” custom page type which is ticked in settings. The button shows up on the bottom right (it is configured for top right).

   I bought the plugin for a customer. Managed to setup the basics to output a page as an image PDF (using DIVI theme). That works just fine and support is superb! Have to read about how to setup the custom fields section, but no need for that right now. My customer is very content so I am more than content with it.
