Theme per user

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This plugin helps a lot when I need some of my customers seeing new theme and comment before launching new version, without migrating to other server. Thank you so much.

   Doesn’t do child themes, but otherwise does exactly what I wanted.

   I am reworking a custom theme so it is fully responsive. The new theme has a parent-child relationship. I’ve set the new theme on my own account, but it doesn’t load the CSS. The ‘default’ theme works fine.
