Post Content Shortcodes

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, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 91% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 8 months ago; the previous band took 18 months to cross, which places it about 54% of the way through.

   For Importing Content within a single blog : GREAT Plugin But for Multi-Blog to Blog use : First : images cannot be imported (except featured image … which is not of much interest). Content without imageS ? Second : I couldn’t edit the exported content, even after editing the original article. Even after deleting the article, the original version was still displayed in the destination blog. Some kind of cache effect ? Weird. Maybe I did something wrong … This topic was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by minutepapillon. This topic was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by minutepapillon.

   Magnificent! Awesome!! Stupendous!!! Developer should be Very Proud (Extremely). Significantly Helping to pull my multisite mess together-ish, right now as you read this. Not a “fake” review, see the live results at [link removed – please do not use reviews to promote your site.] (in a week or so of this plugins specific help…). I experienced some “fragility” with the excerpt_length on my mess of a WP implementation. Had to laboriously & incrementally try-and-error different excerpt lengths + network disable-reactivate the plugin each test cycle – per usage – to “reset” things, but Hey, that’s half the fun of WordPress! Simply Don’t use excerpt_length at all if you don’t specifically need it… Great work for 1.0! May Never-Ending Good Fortune Deservedly Rain like Waterdrops Upon Thee & Thy Kingdom Forever-more and Two Days! Will send some cash when I see it. This is from a Guy that NEVER writes reviews at all. Had to reset my WP password, after finding my username… Please Don’t Ever, Ever, Ever Stop working on this 5-STAR project. If you do, all my website templates will instantly shatter & die & take out a few innocent little baby kittens too… 🙁 This topic was modified 8 years, 4 months ago by username0077.

   Full content of multiple posts displayed in a single post. I’ve been trying for weeks to make this happen, and my friend even set me up with a work-around with special post types, (archive system) but it was still not meeting my needs. This works so perfectly! It adds the full content with a simple shortcode (or you could do excerpt if you prefer), and it even pulls content from posts in other sites within a multi-site without needing to broadcast the post between the sites. All the links in the original posts are coming through and working beautifully. Thank you to the author; I’m definitely sending a note and a donation your way once I get everything up and running!

   It is not certified for WP 4.4.2, but runs fine on my end. If it causes issues with other code I will revisit this review and let you know. Thanks. Nice work. Note: I have always liked the type-face font you selected as the list default. It makes really nice headers against transparent backgrounds, too.
