Themeflection Numbers – Number Counter and Animated Numbers

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.

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.

13 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 6 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 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 · 72% 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 3 months ago and the previous band took 16 months to cross, so the real count is still just under 3K.

   Plugin changes background color by itself everyday, plugin developper doesn’t offer any support. Spend your money somewhere else!

   the icons are not displayed the icons are not displayed and obviously no response from support for several months, so don’t even bother sending a request…

   Out of the “box” with no add ons or anything, and just to display the post count within a widget, it would not allow the homepage to load. It may just be something incompatible with my theme, but just be aware it might happen. Keep your admin open in a tab just in case.

   I paid for an addon in order to add commas to the numbers. It cost $7. This was a week ago. Since then, I haven’t received the addon file. Despite numerous attempts to contact this company, no one has responded. I submitted several more emails but again, no response. I thought it was an issue with not creating an account on the site. However, even after creating an account and repurchasing the addon, NOTHING! This company is a scam. Don’t pay for addons. This topic was modified 4 years ago by 1firstpage.

   I BOUGHT 2 add-ons of this plugin, but the control is terribly limited, also some of the function is not working (auto-increment in my case). But the worst part is either the core, or those 2 addons are CRASHING THE BACKEND OF MY SITE. I started a thread asking for help but there’s no reply even after a month, everyone who download this please check if the plugin install page (plugin-install.php) is still working normally after you activate it. ref. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-incrementer-not-working-and-licence-issue-of-multi-site-for-translation/

   Appearance of plugin is good + it functions + will work on your site from laptop. Numbers go to correct values. Had tried other plugins that didn’t work, so literally the frame of comparison is, “Wow, this plugin is usable.” But it has problems. 1) Numbers increase super fast, i.e., from 0 – 300 in like one second, so the effect/glamour of your customer viewing the animation is blunted. There’s no way to adjust the rate of increase either. 2) Animation doesn’t work on mobile device. Numbers just appear static at the values you’ve entered. In order to see the animation you need to be using laptop. 3) No preview option + no way to know how the font number you enter translates into actual size. I had been using size 18 font for body text on one of my WP pages so I entered that value in for the font, and it literally took up my whole page as though I had entered 180. So once you save the shortcode to your page, you can’t change/play with the fonts because there’s no preview option. Edit: Just realized that all of the above problems are on purpose by the plugin creator. If you want more control, “Pay us. Buy our Pro plugin.” Creator literally makes SEVEN different add-ons as opposed to just allowing you to pay once for more features. This topic was modified 6 years, 5 months ago by mehlmanmedical.
