REST API Custom 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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 97% 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.

   Simple but great plugin. It allowed me to add everything I needed from my CPT fields to the WP rest API v2. Thank you guys!

   This is truly excellent. It makes adding fields to the Rest API easy. However, there’s the slight issue that it slows down every. single. page. by 3-5 seconds because it makes a terribly slow SQL query on EVERY admin page. So I use it when I need it. Then I quickly deactivate it.

   I love the Integromat tool, but the WordPress plugin doesn’t work for me. Once installed the whole site is slow. I did every possible test, even a fresh install of WordPress on another server, but the problem is the same. It was necessary to delete the plugin. I will wait for future versions to see if the issue is resolved.
