Press This

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 56% 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.

   J’adore cette fonctionnalité de WP, pourquoi s’en passer si on partage des liens sur son site!?!?

   If you don’t have the scriptlet bookmarked already this plugin is WORTHLESS because there is literally NO PLACE to get the code for the bookmark ANYWHERE.

   I think this is one of the perfect plugins to keep the blogs alive and helping to make them more a personal bitacora. Thanks! This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by comunicacionabierta.

   I installed it, wrote a post, tried to save, my Safari browser hang, consumed more than 4GB of memory and finally crashed with my post gone of course. This topic was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by bkahlert.

   Forgot about Press This. Never used it in the past. But now I think I’ll be addicted.

   The only suggestion I’d make is to add a few options, like whether to embed the link as the text of the title or as the actual url. The latter is handy for making printouts usable by not concealing the url. In other words: <a href="http://blah">title of blah</a> vs <a href="http://blah">http://blah</a> This topic was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by winkelr.

   I tried out this plugin after being reminded about this feature of WordPress. I searched through core and found out its now a plugin. Tried it out, and it worked exactly like I expected! A problem is that, we like this new version of the post edit screen so much we want to come back and edit posts from this screen too… but you can’t. 😢 Maybe now that its a plugin you guys can give us a way to add an “edit in press this” button in the wp-admin bar, or on the posts screen?
