Simple Membership Custom Messages

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 · 68% 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.

   I honestly love the plugin and am grateful the creators made it free. It could be a part of the original plugin and not require this additional plugin, but doing so would require more work, I suppose. The instructions are very clear when followed correctly. It does take a little work and knowledge of html to set the string properly, but they give you an example of the plugin documentation page. i.e. “Wishing to view this content? Why not <a href=”https**********”>Login</a> or <a href=”https************”>Join Us Now</a>.” Although it would be nice to have a small example on the plugin interface page. But you simply replace the text and hyperlink data. This is where html knowledge is good to know. You are able to move faster, but even if you don’t have it, there is CLEAR documentation, which helped me a ton in the past. It’s a very great plugin to go along with their other Membership plugins which have not failed me all these years. My site is small, and I don’t have a need for much, but am thankful for the creators of this plugin.
