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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Nice plug in for using FB comments instead of the native WP commenting system. Wish there was a way however to notify the admin when new comments are added.

   is this plugin multisite compatible? It won’t display on the networks dashboard … works perfect as a super admin or single install any suggestion on the wpmu compatibility?

   Great plugin, just as I needed. A bit prying because I use child theme and it doesn’t work for WP from start, but problem was in theme. Plugin idea is great and it works. Thank you
