Publish Date DatePicker

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 · 88% 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.

   For anyone even just considering the installation of this plugin, please note that using this plugin’s documentation link: Access Plugin Documentation on http://freewptp.com/plugins/publish-date-datepicker/ Is redirected to a “casino” webpage (http://206.189.151.151/). I don’t see how anyone could trust the creator of this plugin. Reportedly completed fixes were not made (see below). At minimum, the creator’s website has been hacked, or worse. My advise would be to use it at your own peril. I, with great haste, unintalled it. ———————————- My initial review was for 2 stars and was titled “Error was claimed to be fixed but was not.” Clicking the “now” option does not reset time to the current (valid) one. As a result, when updating a page, instead of right now your page won’t be published until that future point in time (later in the day). This error was reported over 4 years ago and at that time the plugin author claimed that this error was fixed. It wasn’t. It still occurs here in the year 2021. The “now” button is a great feature, if only it worked. — This error still exists, but pales compared to the newer issue I mention. This topic was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by broadway12345.
