SQL Chart Builder

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 · 36% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Great free plugin with very fast support when needed, good performance, lightweight. Absolutely recommended.My favorite for real time visualizations of information from wordpress database. I use it instead of embedding Google Looker Studio reports.

   A very powerful yet simple to use solution to display chart data directly from SQL queries. Support is first class and very quick if required. I road tested a number of other plugins before choosing SQL Chart Builder and this was definately the leader. 110% recommend. This topic was modified 3 years, 9 months ago by speleo.

   This plugin is exactly what I was looking for – a way to display charts of user data on a membership site. It’s the only plugin I could find in the repository that makes charts directly from sql, without requiring a pro version or adding a ton of other functionality. After a quick run through of the SQL tutorials on W3Schools, I was creating just the charts I needed. Will be using this on other sites.

   This is a great plugin with great support and help. I needed assistance and they were right there with the solution. Too many of these plugins offer next to nothing in their free version and then say upgrade to the PRO version to do stuff you really want to do. This plugin does what those ask a premium for. As soon as this plugin develops a pro version, I’m getting on board!! I tried a bunch of the chart plugins and this one worked great out of the box. Skip the others.

   It’s easy to use and produces attractive graphs from simple SQL queries… but it cannot properly display any text on the axis labels that contains “foreign” characters. The name “Röntgen”, for example, will be displayed “R & ouml;ntgen”, with HTML code descriptions of o-umlaut rather than with the actual ö character. This is a serious defect… but there are no other equivalent graphing plugins available, so one must make do! It’s incredibly easy to use and it produces attractive graphs from simple SQL queries: a lot of other plugins tend to require you to supply data in separate text or CSV files. I did once have a problem with the graphs not displaying UTF-8 characters properly on the axes of graphs (so things like ‘Röntgen’ would be displayed as “R & ouml;ntgen”, with HTML code descriptions of o-umlaut rather than with the actual ö character. But that got fixed around version 2.2.0. With that fix in place, there isn’t a tool quite like it anywhere else and it has made my personal website much, much more useful in consequence. The support I received back in 2019 was a bit iffy -but the support has improved by leaps and bounds since then, and they would now appear to be responsive and helpful, which is great. Because of the improved support and the fixing of the UTF-8 issue, I’ve increased my rating for the plugin from an acceptable 3-star to a ‘I’m a fan’ 5-star one, as of March 3rd 2022.
