Rate My Post – Star Rating Plugin by FeedbackWP

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 · 58% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I highly recommend installing this plugin. It’s one of the best ranking plugins. It’s lightweight and doesn’t slow down your site. Excellent, professional technical support. Issues are resolved quickly.

   I need to modify class-rate-post-public.php every time this plugin updates because it adds the preload font on every page, that’s not necessary.

   Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the rate-my-post domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

   The widget should sort by the highest rating, but it sorts only by the number of ratings. Five years ago this was posted: https: wordpress org/support/topic/sort-custom-post-type-on-average-rating/ [stupid wordpress does not allow links….]I am not savvy enough to implement it. I think many users would like to have more control over the way the highest rating is displayed.Is this going to be implemented in the (near) future?

   This plugin earlier worked perfectly. All my stars showing on Google Snippets too. But after few updates I lost them. Still on site but not in Google Search.
