Rename DB Table Prefix

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 · 100% 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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   It does what it says and it does well. The plugin asks you if you have baked up you database and wp-config.php file, which it is a good reminder 🙂 I wouldn’t expect less from the authors. Thanks for your work!

   Good if your wp-config file is writable.

   I always make a point of changing the default wp_ prefix on new installs for better security and this one time I forgot. D’oh. I was about to do it manually using a text editor and phpMyAdmin and thought, ‘gee, i wonder if there’s a plugin that could make quick work of this’? I saw Delicious Brains associated with this plugin and since I use their awesome Better Search Replace plugin a fair bit, I decided to give it a whirl. Holy crap – what a huge time saver! One click and done (I ran backups first). I checked my wp-config file and the db and everything looks ship-shape. Awesome little plugin. Thanks for sharing! Highly recommended – but back up first!
