Show Private

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% 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.

   Thanks for this plugin! It has saved me so much work. I can now ensure that certain posts are shareable via URL but do not show up in archive pages. To be doubly sure that these private posts did not show up in search engine results, I used a custom field that inserts robots noindex meta to the head of the page. function add_meta_noindex() { global $post; $noindex = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'noindex-post', true); if ($noindex) { echo "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,nofollow,noarchive,nocache,nosnippet,noodp,noydir,noimageindex\" />\n"; } } add_action('wp_head', 'add_meta_noindex');

   I have wasted some time trying to achieve functionality like this plugin but failed. Also tried some plugins and they were useless. Thank You so much for this plugin Dev 🙂

   I just installed this plugin and it seems to be working EXACTLY like I wanted! I can now create private pages that can be found by all readers. The page titles do not show up on the menu bar. This makes me extremely happy! Good work!

   Thank you so much, I have been looking for a way to show private pages for non-users. This plugin works just how I wanted it to, I really needed this. Great job on the plugin and thanks again.
