Shapely Companion

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I think Shapely Theme by ColorLib is a solid well designed theme. Simple to use and provided all the design aspects of a site theme that I needed. I would give it a 4+ STARS with the one exception. The free version has a required credit in the footer which I did not want. In order not to show that there is a modest fee, and rightly so. I had NO problem with the modest fee and gladly paid. Over the course of the next three weeks and MANY emails, I waited for the code, and specific instructions on how to apply. The help desk either did not understand what I was asking or…? “Please send the code I paid for and specific written instructions on installation and use.” To which they seemed to answer every question I did not ask and never the one I asked. Never did receive the code, nor instructions. Yes, it was a verified sale – thank you from the ColorLib and tracking/conformation through PayPal. It was a perfect theme for small to medium sites, clean, well documented. Between myself, friends and family we have purchased at least 8 licenses of ColorLib competition — of lesser quality, (and more costly) but have learned how to work around the bugs.
