Radio Buttons for Taxonomies

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 · 90% 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.

   There would still be a small improvement. There should be an option to pre-select a category by default when a new post is created. And the option of whether a category can be removed should also be possible in the global settings. This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by Edgar Pfandler.

   The plugin does what it says it will do regarding non-hierarchical taxonomies. However, I realized that this is of limited utility to my application because all of my taxonomies are hierarchical. If a Pro version were available to allow mandatory selection from only the first-level children terms of a specified parent term, then I would be very interested in that. If that is a possibility, please let me know. Thanks.

Great job ! (Why the constructor of Radio_Buttons_For_Taxonomies isn’t private ? )
