Posts Social Shares Count

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 · 100% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   The Problem is that facebook change the json, and you can fix the problem by edit this file wp-content/plugins/posts-social-shares-count/classes/share.count.php and go to function pssc_facebook and change the code inside it with this code $json_string = $this->file_get_contents_curl( 'https://graph.facebook.com/?id='.$this->url ); $json = json_decode( $json_string, true ); return isset( $json['share']['share_count'] ) ? intval( $json['share']['share_count']) : 0; This topic was modified 9 years, 7 months ago by ollakalla.

   Does what it says it will do. Had a small issue with cURL under a specific server setup, but otherwise it works great!

   Was looking high and low for a total share counter with caching support, and this plugin was definitely the most helpful!
