Stars Rating

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 · 41% 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.

   It’s the perfect star rating plugin for my website. It’s not overloaded with features but has just the right ones.

   Does what it says. I tried 3 other Plugins to get my CPT ratings, but due to heavy customization in the comments template (and form) none of them worked. This one integrates without any problems. The only thing I’d like to see is an option to hide or customize the average rating text – for now it’s not possible to only show the average number without additional text. Hiding all text with CSS doesn’t work too, because the text is in plain HTML without a class. I would like to have it like this: <div class="stars-avg-rating"> <span class="rating-stars">...</span> <span class="rating-text">3.5 based on 2 reviews</span> </div> Would enable more options for styling.
