Sensei LMS Certificates

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 · 82% 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 Sensei team has seemingly abandoned what would correctly be argued as one of their most important features. Frighteningly, they are now ignoring security-related pull requests which are timing out and closing without being pushed. I cannot add links to my review, but you can look this plugin up on Github and view the open and closed pull requests. In fact, this same behavior is seen in other official Sensei plugins such as Sensei Course Progress and Sensei Media Attachments. I would highly recommend steering clear of this plugin and re-evaluating your options when it comes to Sensei as a whole. I’m in the process of moving the last of my clients off of Sensei and onto a more secure platform with active development. This topic was modified 3 years, 3 months ago by PD.
