Taxonomy Dropdown Widget

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 · 99% 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.

   This was a life saver. Exactly, and I mean, exactly what I needed. The client was dead set against a Tag Cloud and after some rigorous searching, I kept coming back to this page. Thank you Erick. You made it look easy! This topic was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by rowhouse.

   Looks and works great. Could you just provide a tiny update to help get rid of the PHP 7.3 error message that I can’t remove and which is displayed in the top area of the login page? FYI, the error message is the following: Warning: “continue” targeting switch is equivalent to “break”. Did you mean to use “continue 2”? in /home/directory/www/module/wp-content/plugins/tag-dropdown-widget/tag-dropdown-widget.php on line 430. I could not find any info intelligible enough to fix this by myself. All I did so far is check that WP_DEBUG is set to false in wp-config.php. Many thanks in advance This topic was modified 7 years, 4 months ago by Qualiweaver.
