Post List Designer – Category Post, Recent Post, Post List

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 · 62% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   Their plugin works perfectly, and makes it easy to display custom posts where wordpress can’t. It is really worth buying the premium version. In addition, the post-sale technical support has been super fast and efficient. 100/100!!

   This plugin is really amazing. Really easy to understand and use. You can control which post your want to show on your homepage by category. You can easily manage what you want to show on the grid. I recommend strongly for you to install and try it for yourself. This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by jgjador.
