Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Breaks the Dashboard. All Dashboard widgets disappear except for a warning indicating a critical error has occurred. There does not seem to be any support available. Too bad, as it would have been a handy add on. Note that it does not seem to crash the site, the only indication something is wrong is the loss of all content on the WordPress Dashboard.

    I recently had a problem with a plugin I purchased from Codexpert, but when I contacted tech support, I was promptly answered. My problem was resolved very quickly. I want to congratulate and thank Md (Mustakim Ahmed) – Support Engineer. Qualified and competent professional! Thank you Codexpert!!!

    Excellent plugin for restrict content. I´m using it to hide content for logged out user and show them the login form and show restrict content for logged in users. Normally I don´t install plugins that don´t have many install but this ones works excellent. Thanks to the team behind!
