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 · 94% 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 was searching for a simple, well written and usable like / dislike plugin with minimum options. While there are behemoths, there are also small ones, all of which didn’t really fit the bill because they were ether too simplistic, or too big, complex and pricy. If you know what you are doing, this plugin really it all. As an added bonus – it doesn’t create any additional WP tables, but uses wp_meta. Excellent! Kudos guys!

   This is incredibly lightweight, and it doesn’t even create additional DB tables.I think it’s the best plugin for likes and dislikes.

   К сожалению, этот плагин не работает. Установил по инструкции. Открыл статью, нажал на “лайк” ничего не происходит. Только со второго раза меняется цвет лайка при нажатии, но сам лайк не появляется. Также при прописывании лайков в мета поле, лайки также не отображаются. Очень жаль. Надеюсь поправите или чем-то поможете.– Оценку исправил на 5. Сам был виноват. Нужно было удалить id=post_id из <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[posts_like_dislike id=post_id]’);?> This topic was modified 1 year, 1 month ago by Danilkin.

   This is a great and simple plugin, and lightweight also. There are many plugins out there in the market bloated with ads, and loaded with lots of css and js. But, this one is very lightweight. I just have one requirement, I’ve to display top 10 most liked posts in the widget on frontend? Is it possible?

   Disappeared from the site after the latest update. I hate when a plugin gets worse after update.

   It’s a great plugin, giving 5 stars is the least I can do to thank its creator.

   Awesome plugin – thanks! A quick question – any documentation on how to get this to work well when using a caching plugin? Understandably, as soon as I enable the cache (in this instance via LiteSpeed Cache plugin) the display of likes/dislikes does not update until I refresh the cache. But obviously I’d like to show this dynamic content….any tips would be most appreciated.
