PublishPress Checklists: Pre-Publishing Approval Checklist – Validate Post Requirements

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. 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   The full PublishPress suite is turning out to be very helpful with our full site redesign. It fills a lot of holes that other plugins weren’t able to do. I’ve also been very pleased with the support of their team. They’ve been quick to reply with solutions to my issues and receptive to suggestions that I have to make things better. Multisite development can be tricky and frustrating at best so I appreciate good support with that when available. Cheers.

   I first installed the plugin to check translation then I kept it in my website because I found out it was useful to carry on my work. Thanks, I wish you carry on developing this and other useful plugin like this one.

   I set it up to prevent me from posting until I have added at least a tag. Very helpful!

   Hard to believe this only has a few reviews. This plugin does exactly what it promises and is not cluttered with unnecessary things. If you have a complicated publication process that needs to be exactly right every time, this is a great plugin to prevent accidents.
