Preserved HTML Editor Markup Plus

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.

   Text Centering not Works. So many files. Instead use Simple single file Plugin – “Protect schema.org markup in HTML editor”

   Yeah, it doing it’s job – wordpress now don’t f*ck up all my code after switching to visual editor, but now text editor looks like one big paragraph and completely unreadable, maybe it’s ok for someone but not for me, sadly. This topic was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by kuroimatoo.

   The plugin completely ruined the website. I read the installation instructions and yet, the website is still broken. This topic was modified 8 years, 9 months ago by tmgb.

   Thank you for an excellent plugin that works as advertised 🙂 They’re not joking about needing to follow the installation instructions! What a novel idea, installation instructions 😀 It could use a notice directing you to the actual settings and have a “settings” link on the plugin listing in the admin plugins section, but this is really a UI nit pick.
