Random

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 · 65% 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.

   Random is almost exactly what I need. I can make it work by using page or post IDs but it’s pretty laborious. Load content by category or tag would be a really useful additional feature. This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by Brian Grover.

   This plugin give to your website the possibility to get random content for specific posts types. You can use to give to your visitors random posts, or random woocommerce products for your clients. Very useful in my opinion.
