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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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
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 plugin appears to be unique or close to it, with its ability to display either Twitternames, hashtags or both. Nice configuration options, easy to display in any widget area, shows desired number of tweets to fit space available. Very responsive developer! Made my client very happy.

No matter how many times I try to uninstall I get a 500 Internal Server Error and the plugin doesn’t get uninstalled.

Doet voor mij precies wat het moet doen. Ik heb de php code in de sidebar.php geplaatst, want de widget in het dashboard pakte hem niet goed op. Misschien met het theme te maken, ik gebruik als basis Twentytwelve. Maar zo is het perfect. Aanwijzingen voor installatie top. Alleen voor het verkrijgen van je consumer key e.d. zou ik je verwijzen naar deze handleiding: http://www.wpzaken.nl/twitter-api-1-1/ en ga dan naar ‘Registeren van de applicatie’. Dan heb je het helemaal zo voor elkaar!

Does exactly what I need most of the time for a tweet feed, it’s easy to set up, easy to style and can filter on names and/or hashtags! The author is very responsive too and keeps it well up to date. Use it and donate 🙂
