Timeline Block – tell your story with elegant timelines

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 · 47% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   Simple and effective. It’s perfect for my client’s needs. Plus, being a block builder keeps it all contained within the page. I love it!

   We’re using the Timeline Block plugin on several WordPress pages. Because of our – very special – framework & plugin-constellation, some issues occured. The team from bPlugins LLC supported us like hell and made everything running. Thank you very much! Very recommendable plugin!! Best Mikey

   Super light plugin. One of the few that I know of that offers a horizontal view and integrates perfectly with Gutenberg. Exactly what I was looking for: thank you very much for this development!
