Required Fields

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.

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Este plugin funciona fenomenal. Puedes activar o desactivar que campos quieres que sean obligatorios en tu post o página.

   hi there, I would like to set (as administrator of a multi-blogeur blog) rules who would block automatically the submition of drafts if all the required fields are not properly complete by the authors. Your plugin would therefore be very helpfull to solve my issue. Unfortunately, your plugin does not seem to be compatible with my WP version (4.2.2). Is that correct? If so, are you going to update this plugin? If no, do you know further plugins that are compatible to my WP version? Best regards, Tobie

   When I setup requirements on my version 4.3.1 and try to save as DRAFT without any of the requirementes, I only got the WP message alert telling me if I really want to go out of the page and that I may loose data. But it allowed me to save anyway. If I disable the plugin that message goes away. No indicative on what is missing. useless on the way it is now, even do it’s a great idea. I would love to use if it worked.
