Remove CPT base

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.

   Thank for the plugin.I struggled for hours to make the plugin work with Polylang and avoid 404s, for those who have the problem the solution is simple you have to go in Polylang settings and check the “The front page url contains the language code instead of the page name or page id”, otherwise it will not work.

   Been looking for several solutions, and this works out of the box. Quick solution, and extremely lightweight.

   This plugin could manage what I tried to implement programmatically for a few days.

   This plugin creates redirects rather than deleting CPT base
