Posts per Cat

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 · 39% 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.

   Excellent work- excellent output! Thanks to the developer! Question: Only limited by 50 posts for each category to display, wish this to be 100 or limitless..

   This is the ultimate plugin for displaying an archive or library of User’s posts. Highly recommended and works great in WordPress 4.0 Requires the Redux Framework plugin.
