TailPress – Tailwind for WordPress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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.

Crossed into this band 27 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 500.

   I found myself often wishing to add inline styles in guttenberg editor, then I thought, how cool would it be to use Tailwind classes in the advanced section of blocks. And I found this plugin that worked without any configuration and it seams to do it with optimizations. From time to time when using a new class you haven’t used on this site, it doesn’t work. All you need to do is to go to this plugin settings and clear the cache. Then the class is working. Thanks a lot to the developer! Live long and prosper!

   I tried several complicated ways to use tailwind with wp themes without node.js on the server. This plugin works and makes it incredibly easy. With the nice addition of also getting tw in the block editor. I have had some problems with classes not being recognized, but that seems to be solved by the cache cleaning button in the tailpress settings. This is also where you can edit the tailwind config, i found out, which was a bit confusing having to write json instead of js, and the invalid json just being erased on saving without any explanation. Would be nice to be told more explicitely that this is where the config is located, how to write it in json, maybe some example(s) of what/how you can write, and an informative error message of sorts when not writing valid json, instead of just having it erased. But i figured it out, and i’m very happy with the plugin.
