Publish to Schedule

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 · 98% 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.

   in December this plugin caused an epic failure on my website – so it took me several days together with my provider to figure out why my page was down as I could not even access WordPress anymore. After installing the updated version the setup shows 5 posts a day but no matter what I try it only acknowledges/allows to schedule 1 post a day so it’s useless

   Plugin stopped working after a recent update. The limit is only 1 post per day. I changed the post limit settings several times, but there are no results. Shows that (0 of 1) | available day! For example, I set 5 posts For each day, wich are will be scheduled! No Shows that (0 of 1) | available day! And works that.
