Post Type Archive Descriptions

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 · 80% 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.

   I almost didn’t try this plugin because of the notice that it hasn’t been tested with the latest versions. Glad I did because it works great – does exactly what it says and is easy to use 🙂

   This is such an elegant way to present your users with the option of editing the text of your archives. I simply installed it and after modifying my theme a bit, I was up and running. Fantastic idea, thank you and keep up the good work!

   A useful and well implemented plugin. If you’re going to use any other post-type global fields it’s better to replace this plugin with a custom field and put all of those on a single options page, but otherwise it does its job well.
