Sidebar Posting

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   It was the exact thing we wanted, though when it submits the post, not much is done other than creating the post.

   When you submit a post, it doesn’t go anywhere.

   No matter what settings I use, the “Name” field always goes red when submitting the post. No error message, no helpful information of any kind is provided. Also, why does it still ask for email when I specifically set to not require email? This plugin doesn’t seem to work in any of the ways it should.

   I definitely like the idea. If we could convert new emails into users, that would be great!

   The link in the description no longer works: http://www.freelanceresources.net/forums/forum/plugins-and-softwares/sidebar-post/ There’s actually a spelling error in it: “Yout Post Title”. I tried it and it didn’t work; the posts never showed up. So I reached out to the author, but his email address is invalid: [email protected]

   We have a few contributors who are not interested in going into the full back of WP. This nifty thing solves the problem. I suggest you guys add tag support and the ability to register right there!! Good stuff

   I like the idea behind this, but could you please make it possible to add the form in a page or post using shortcodes?!! I think that’d be awesome
