Real Category Management: Content Management in Category Folders

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. 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.

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.

   Pretty good module, it serves it purpose, helps us handle hundred of categories. So if you want a easy way to manage category tree, this just works.

   Free version works only with basic WordPress blog entries. Any other content like WooCoommerce requires Pro version. Bait.

   Offered “for free”, it comes with close to ZERO functionality. Categorizing Posts is the only free function, anything else is only available in the paid version. Sure, you are supposed to make money with your product. But don’t pretend to offer it for free if actually nothing is free. This is false advertising and leaves an unpleasant rip-of-flavor in my mouth.

   Please don’t put features of the pro version on the description without PROPERLY listing that they are features for the PRO version. That way, you can avoid wasting people’s time

   Love this functionality for if you have more than a few categories. I also wanted the functionality of drag and drop the post order, wich is also available together with Real Custom Post Order. I didn’t know about this, but support helped me out.

   There was a problem when creating global elements. The problem was fixed very quickly after being reported and implemented in the next update. Great support. Thank you! This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by glocknerhof.
