Series

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 · 98% 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.

   Installed the plugin, I can see the settings page, but the Series meta box on the post editing page is not showing. This topic was modified 2 years, 6 months ago by agilistandre.

   I’ve been using Series for ages and it still works great. Now I use PHP 7.1 and WordPress 5.4.1. Thanks to Justin Tadlock for this plugin.

   Does what it needs to do and still works fine, even though not updated for a long time. Somewhere in the support forum of one of his plugins, Justin said he would only update a plugin when necessary (read: when it doesn’t work after a WP core upgrade or a vulnerability has been discovered). Although that is fine, since there is already too much change for the sake of change, it might be a good idea to do a WP-compatibility bump now and than. If it weren’t for Justin’s reputation, I would never consider using a plugin that hasn’t received updates for over two years.

   This an A+ job. I do not know Justin Tadlock personally but he is probably the best maker of plugins in the world. This is another hole-in-one from the Tiger Woods of plugins: – it works just like it says on the box – it’s elegant and has no annoying promotional or other types of notifications
