  • Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Hey! a Dictionary plug-in that works out of the box, plus you don’t _have_ to use those dang blocks. I am also happy that basic WordPress items are not paywalled, like the featured image. I tried another plug-in and everything was paywalled, like basic WP stuff. I was also pleasantly surprised with the search function. I am trying to do more of a translation dictionary, so I was worried about the title (the English word) being to dominate over the Comanche word, but the search will look into the body of the post to search the Comanche words too. It looks like I can post audio clips in too without any paywall lock. This saved me the time of having to make a custom post type. Thank you. I think I have a winner for Dictionary plug-ins. 🙂 This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by ellice909.

    It’s a very useful plugin and looks good. Also, the developer is helpful.

    Great work, thanks to the author! The plugin is easy to configure and works perfectly out of the box. It is a pity, of course, that it was not updated more than a year ago, but this does not prevent it from working correctly even in November 2020. Thank you so much for developing it!

    Вроде бы простой и легкий, работает за счет произвольных постов, но… 1) нет ссылки на быстрый просмотр из админпанели. 2) нет настройки url для главной рубрики и терминов 3) вообще не работает на 5.1.1
