Simple Discography

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.

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.

   Need a little improvement related to $.browser.webkit it’s deprecated and JS not working, but it’s easy to fix.

   Out of the box the plugin wouldn’t let me create a new album. Checked error_log and found: PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function setTime() on a non-object in /wp-content/plugins/simple-discography/SiDi_Posts.php Googled it and found someone else had the same problem which is clearly not resolved..

   THis is a very simple, yet effective discography plugin. It doesn’t allow for much customization, but what it does, it does nearly perfectly. It let’s you create a discography page with the cover artoworks of all of your releases. You can order them either as a list or as thumbnails. If you click on the cover artworks, you get a preview of all the songs and information that you previously included. It also allows you to create a small discography in your widget area which looks very much like the discography on bandcamp. ALl in all, this is a very effective plugin that I can highly recommend at the moment. i tried out several, but none really pleased me as much as this one. I hope the author of it will implement his planned features in the future which will make an already very good plugin perfect.
