Responsive Tabs

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 · 95% 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.

   The tabs admittedly work pretty nicely if you are just figuring things out. I’ve been trying to cancel this service for 3 years though and they keep charging me. Don’t give them your card details.

   Nice and lightweight plugin, pretty easy to follow and use right out of the box – created just what I wanted. Not many bells and whistles in the free version, a bit more dressing in the Pro version. However, I’ve had a repeated problem of content not showing in the edit box when I want to edit a tab’s content. The content is definitely there, it shows in the tab mini-view area and on the live site – but hit the edit button and I’ve frequently, though not all the time, got an edit window with no visible content. Could be a bug? Could be the browser? (Firefox 94 on Mac OSX). I like it for its much smaller footprint than other plugins. But that content edit issue needs fixing.

   The free version of the Responsive Tabs plugin is limited. You can’t change Tab’s color. This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by balashinde.

   I’ve been using both the free and pro version of Responsive Tabs for over a year and recommend it highly. The UI is pretty easy to navigate and the most recent update is very nice. Support questions are answered quickly and unlike some they will help if you want to make custom css changes. Nice plugin and nice folks.
