Sticky Side Buttons

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 · 53% 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.

I installed nevertheless and it gave that error: Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_merge(): Argument #1 must be of type array, bool given in /home/customer/www/aloebenessere.it/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sticky-side-buttons/sticky-side-buttons.php:44 Stack trace: #0 /home/customer/www/aloebenessere.it/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sticky-side-buttons/sticky-side-buttons.php(44): array_merge(false, Array) #1 /home/customer/www/aloebenessere.it/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): ssb_activate(”) #2 /home/customer/www/aloebenessere.it/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters(”, Array) #3 /home/customer/www/aloebenessere.it/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #4 /home/customer/www/aloebenessere.it/public_html/wp-admin/plugins.php(196): do_action(‘activate_sticky…’) #5 {main} thrown in /home/customer/www/aloebenessere.it/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sticky-side-buttons/sticky-side-buttons.php on line 44Please please update it.

   Quick to load, less is more. w/ Font Awesome library, supports fa styling methods. Works best on desktop (also great on mobile if only 1 to 2 buttons are three).

   Simple plugin that goes straight to the point. You’re not going to get a ton of options obviously but you can set up a modern sticky sidebar in about 5 minutes.
