Public Post Preview

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 · 50% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I have used the plugin for letting my colleagues proof-read or critique my layouted posts since forever. It is an indispensable feature that should be in core 😉Thanks to the creators for providing it.

   The preview links no longer work. Users are forced to log in when using the public preview link – defeating the entire purpose of this plugin. This used to be a must-have plugin. Unless you fix this, you are a must dump plugin. WP: 6.7.2Public Post Preview: 3.0.1 This topic was modified 1 year, 1 month ago by mokuh.
