Weaver Show Posts

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 · 64% 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.

   Like other Weaver products, this plug in just plain works right off. Easy to use with ample descriptions. No guessing.

   There are other plugins that offer similar flexibility and powerful post display capabilities… but, none of those are as easy to use as this 🙂

   This plugin is from the developer of the amazing Weaver II and Aspen themes. One (among many) of the great features of these themes is their Show post shortcode. With this new plugin, he has now released this functionality for everyone to use. ATW Show Posts allows you to inserts posts anywhere, with full flexibility on how to filter which posts to show, and how to display them. This enables you to create custom post pages, like category pages or pages that combine posts and content in any way you like. You can also insert posts in widgets or any content area of your liking. The many display options can make them anything from full posts to simple titles list. The Show Post plugin also serves as a filter creation for its companion the ATW Show Slider plugin. As usual with this developer’s products, the amount of customizability is second to none.
