Simple Job Board

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 · 56% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Been using this plugin for a while to address some basic job vacancies. Today I ran into a problem, possibly after updating PHP or other parts of my website configuration.I contacted support and the matter is already solved with a new version of the plugin, awesome!

   With the latest updates the text content of my job posts just disappeared from the frontend. Job Features and forms are still visible, but the text content is gone. I have to go back to Versions 2.13.3 to get a proper display of my jobs. Also, there’s trouble with Elementor pro conditional display of theme-templates for single posts. Sorry to give a one-star rating for this, but I’m feeling extremely uncomfortable with this plugin. It is not a long term solution for my client.

   SIMPLY BRILLIANT WORDPRESS PLUGIN!!! Downloaded Simple Job Board yesterday for my engineering client. Super simple to set up and use. The only issue I had, was getting a docx to upload, which was resolved in a few hours by the wonderful Press Tigers (time zone thing). This may have been a conflict on my side – not the plugin. Everything works amazingly and in the future will be using this plugin again, plus I’m happy to pay for any add-ons. If you’re looking for a really easy to use plugin for your website’s jobs page, you’ll love Simple Job Board. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

   Absolutely 100% the best plugin support I’ve experienced. Lightning fast responses. Polite, professional and friendly. And best of all, Saad went above and beyond to facilitate a very specific request. The plugin itself is a delight to use and works really well. I highly recommend!
