PublishPress Permissions: Control User Access for Posts, Pages, Categories, Tags

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 · 58% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Finally found something that has exactly what I needed. This is a software the developer should be proud of. Simple but complex

   PublishPress already makes my day-to-day job so much easier, but their customer support is next-level. We recently ran into an issue, and Kevin was incredibly responsive, walking us through the solution step-by-step. What impressed me most was that after helping us resolve it, the team actually issued a global PublishPress update to fix the bug for all their other users, too. I highly recommend this plugin—both the software and the team behind it are top-notch!

   This suite of products is incredibly robust and therefore understandably complex. I’ve used it on many sites. Recently, we had a particularly complicated setup and support worked with me patiently and tirelessly, even over the winter holidays, to help resolve it. There is always a way, and if you can’t find it, they can.

This notification keep appearing on the plugin’s detail page: Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress. Is it safe or not to update this plugin?

   I am using Publishpress Permissions on my site. The plugin is reliable and very easy to manage. And the Support team do their best to answer my questions in a reasonable timeframe.
