Release cadence

Occasionally updated

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

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.

    We’d been using the predecessor version of the plugin which no longer works with modern PHP; in updating our internal report dashboard ran into the old plugin totally broken. This solved the issue nicely. THANK YOU. Only bug we ran into was the output is missing a closing /tag element which breaks layout, but figured it out. 🙂

    If you used RSSImport by Frank Bültge, this is what you should use instead now. Works like expected. Many thanks for the continuation!
