Sticky Posts – Switch

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 · 98% 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’d hate to leave a negative review, but the owner turned off the support function and provides no method to contact. The Plugin Works, but it doesn’t respect Custom Post Types. All Stickies in the Posts section become stickies in all other custom post types. So in our case a Posts Sticky is now showing in our CPT “Forums”

   Clean and simple implementation, super easy to use, excellent UI, exactly what I was looking for. Using native wp functions is the icing on the cake. Love this!

   I was just getting ready to implement this myself. Very happy you saved me the trouble! The ability to click the stars in the admin interface is also a super nice addition. Wonderful work! Thank you so much! PRO tip: Although, I couldn’t find it documented anywhere, as a developer you can get a list of all the sticky posts with get_option('sticky_posts') This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by Jules Colle.
