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

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    The plugin works great on older versions, but the latest update has a serious bug. It breaks global styles (shrinking all website font sizes) and causes a JavaScript conflict that stops my theme’s main dropdown menu from working on hover. I had to roll back to the previous version to fix my site. Please check this release for global leaks. Thanks! This topic was modified 1 day, 21 hours ago by Yelltrix.

    This was exactly what I was looking for in a timeline! Easy to set up and organize content. Would love a better way to make sure events always alternate what side of the timeline they are on(they naturally do this, but if I delete a middle timeline event the 2 events next to it stay on the same side.

    Perfect for creating a portfolio timeline on a WordPress install. Considering I used to code timelines using HTML/CSS, this was easy breezy way to do it in WordPress.

    Nice plugin for gutenberg timeline. It will be better if you add a animation setting.

    It’s nice and easy to use, but it loads a couple of CSS files on init (two versions of blocks.style.build.css) which means it adds overhead to every page on the site, even when you’re only using the block on a single page (which is probably how most people use this particular block). I try to avoid plugins that do that, because if every plugin I installed did that, it would bog down my site significantly. If they fix that, I’ll update my review to 5 stars.

    Easy to set-up and use. I used it on two sites. I did have some minor problems with it, but the support team did a great (and fast) job fixing my issues. They even updated to plug-in so the issues wouldn’t be a problem in the future. So I’d recommend it for sure.
