Reviews Plus

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 · 78% 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 recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Great Plugin that does exactly what it advertises. We had one small request (low priority) that was handeled by the Support immediately and a update was released!

   It was simple, functional, wonderful but broke my entire site. Last update broke the pages displaying only an awful message “Critical Error… Find out more on WordPress…” Anyone can suggest a better plugin?

   I’m giving this 5 stars in the hope that this plugin will be maintained and improved. It has great potential. As per my review – It’s a nice neat plugin that works well. Simple. Hopes for improvement: – Option for half star ratings, or incremental stars – Display ratings in other formats, like circles, not just stars – Maybe some response in the support page would be nice! – CSS could be improved – And I did encounter a issue with approving comments, but that may be a conflict with other ratings plugins. So don’t take my word on that. Anyway, I’m looking forward to more updates…. please!

   I really like the fact that this plugin uses WordPress’s native comments. This gives you the security that your comments will always be under your control no matter what. I’ve to say this is by far the most effective way of implementing user reviews I’ve come across after testing some of the more full-blown review plugins. Kudos to the developers This topic was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by kevisorus.

   Hello, Your plugin working with latest version of WordPress. I managed to customize layout with CSS, and everything is fine. I hope you will continue to improve the plugin. For example, sort comments by popularity. 🙂
