SubHeading

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 · 94% 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.

   I’ve just deleted the plugin as it did nothing. I still seemed to have to put something into the template? section and that isn’t shown in installation, so I don’t know how to do it. I looked in the support forum for ways to alter the colour and font of a sub-heading but nobody had answered that question.

   Again I tried several other sub title plugins that just did not work – either due to needed upgrade to function with the latest WP version or conflict with another plugin I use. Use this one !

   A question instead. How can I change the font and size without learning how to code?

   Does what it says it does and does it well. A nice set of options available, particularly custom post types, perfect. One suggestion, perhaps add a placeholder that says “Enter optional subheading here” or something along those lines to the input box.

   Pretty slick. I’m also surprised that isn’t part of the wordpress core but this plugin feels very much like core code not a hack and the intuitive template tag works great. Just remember to enable it on posts in settings before you toss it out 🙂
