Subtitles

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.

   It would be great to set the font sizes. This for single posts pages and in the archives/overview (where it is very small and difficult to read for older people). But the plugin does work great otherwise 🙂

   Subtitles disappeared from editor after WP update. No way to transfer them out of the plugin except by manual copy and paste.

   This plugin does what it says, adds subtitles to your post. And does it really well blending with the layout seamlessly.

   Works perfect. First I had some issues with this plugin, it was messing up the archive and search pages in my theme, but I found the solutions (how to modify) quickly and easy in the github. Good job there!
