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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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
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.

This little plugin works great with WP 6.1.1 and save me a lot of work I would like to make one suggestion. I would like to see repeat rules (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly) similar to what available in Google Calendar If you could do this it would make Schedule Posts Calendar the best posting plugin available for wordpress because no plugin offers this feature

Useful Plugin

Simply put this is convenience. But it’s an always install plugin because it makes live so much easier when planning content on the WP backend. Simple and effective!

I loved this plugin; until I found out that my posts were being saved with “Allow comments” and “Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page” unchecked. It appears that, when you use this to change the schedule of a post from the post list, it disables the post discussion settings.

Simple but fantastic timesaver for scheduling posts!

Does exactly what I wish WP did out of the box. Pops up a calendar for both date & time selection when scheduling posts. Just scheduled out a few months’ worth of daily content and am happy I found Schedule Posts Calendar before I started. Thanks Greg! (Version 5.0)

Exactly what I wanted. Does everything I needed it to do! Thank you so much for this plugin 🙂

I need that visual calendar to schedule. The only thing I wish it had that it doesn’t? I wish it matched the GUI laid out in the current admin colors. If it pulled in those colors, it would be epic with regards to design and layout 🙂
