Raw HTML

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 · 87% 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.

   Although if you have the perfectly corrected and formatted html, save it offline in case an accidently trip through the visual editor destroys your carefully laid out code. (or get the pro version)

   Just installed this and has no effect when using the WordPress Code Editor, items between the raw tags still get reformatted by wordpress.

   Having detailed and fine control of my pages, and layouts, is important to me. Being able to add in-line CSS and embedded style sections is just what I am looking for. Second guessing WP Theme or interface behavior is done away with for me by using this plugin. Thanks for this.

   I’m using the Pro version and it works perfectly! Client is happy that she no longer needs to remember to open some posts in code view only… GREAT!

   The plugin helps to avoid some of WordPress’ auto formatting, but is not a complete solution for doing so. Hoping this receives continued support and updates
