Rewrite Rules Inspector

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 · 47% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   Whenever you change a custom post type, you must flush the rewrite rules. This plugin does in in a single click. Additionally it enables you to check your rewrite rules against your URLs to make sure everything is working as it should. This is one of my essential plugins.

   Love the plugin but noticed today, whilst debugging a new plugin I’m writting, that the plugin still uses the depreciated functions: screen_icon() and get_screen_icon(). Both have gone depreciated since 3.8.0 so I reckon a minor update to avoid these errors from popping up in the debug mode is worth the effort 🙂 The fix – with backwards compatibility (do we need that?) – would be to change: <?php screen_icon( 'tools' ); ?> into: <?php if ( function_exists('screen_icon') ) screen_icon( 'tools' ); ?> ___ (!) Notice: screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available. (!) Notice: get_screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available.

   Works great. Helped me resolve an issue with WC3.0 rewrite rules changing priority.
