Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Thank you for making this plugin! Simple, effective, does its job well and with clean interface. Solves several different puzzles I’ve had while building out a resource website for a client.

    Was looking ages for it. So strange this function is not part of the native loop block. Thanks

    You can replace many other freemium post-grip plugins with this one. It gives the feature to default query loop to select a post by title. Hope this plugin will be around for many more years.

    If you need to query juste one post inside a block query, this plugin is for you! A must-have that should be native!
