Prevent Landscape Rotation

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 · 84% 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.

   Works well on mobiles but I got the reverse experience on tablets. A fix should be done for it.

   simple and easy, maybe we need little more options like change bacground image, prevent various devices, example desktop tablet or large screen, in order to force only the portrait mobile view. by the way it is a very good plugin

   Super awesome plugin, love the simplicity. The Author is very supportive. I hope we can see a prevent portrait mode in addition – perhaps in future updates! Again thank you!!
