Podcast Importer SecondLine

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 · 87% 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.

   Having a bit of a challenge to add existing Podcasts from Podbean to a new website I was pretty much at a loss on the best way to do it.This plugin is awesome, imported everything perfectly and with a bit of setup I have it working with a custom Avada blog layout as well.Thanks SecondLine for solving my problem. The site is still in development but I think we’ll buy the pro version before we go live.

   If you want to import your podcasts automatically this is the perfect plugin. The customer support is amazing as well, even for the free version. Support good plugins or they go away, people!

   I love that it continuously imports podcasts from any RSS feed so I can keep several podcasts on their current hosts but display them in one place. Thank you, looking forward to future features!

   I’ve been looking all over for an importer that understands the complexities of Omny . . . and literally made my work easier

   This plugin is exactly what I was looking for. I needed an importer for my podcasts, but I didn’t want to use a bloated plugin that was host-specific. This works great with my Libsyn RSS feed. On top of that, my support requests were addressed quickly. Looking forward to seeing where this plugin goes!

   I’ve never left a review of a plug-in before… this plug in works PERFECT. Imported all of my past episodes with one click and now can just focus on producing content! It’ll automatically post to my website… wonderful! This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by dariengibson.
