Timesheet by BestWebSoft

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.

5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 1 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

Ranked about #19,100 to #20,000, alongside the other plugins at 60+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

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.

Crossed into this band 10 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 70.

   Sure, the user interface looks nice. But this plugin lacks the most basic of functions to be actually useful as there are: – a way to export to CSV – A way to change the default settings for the sheet (Logging what you’ve done the previous week or month and not just the next 10 days) – A way to lock users out of the report screen. It’s none of their business – A way to limit the usage to certain roles or users. – A way to remove or rename a status – A way to change the resolution. In the free version it’s an hour, in the PRO (oh well) version it’s 5 minutes. What I would need is 30 min. Al in all 30 dollars is way overpriced for what the pro version delivers. The free version for now only shows posibilities and missed chances. All that said and done, and as I hope for future developments on this plugin, I’ve written my own export to CSV plugin as I needed some custom output anyhow. To support this plugin I have a Dutch translation available. If you would let me know where I can send it, it’s all yours to include.

   OK, so had to change my 5* rating because although it showed promise the fact is it doesn’t fulfill its objectives at this stage of its development (see my Support posts). It is not clear when the bugs will be fixed. Originally I wrote (giving it 5*): “I’m going to kick this off… For my particular purpose this is very handy. It is well constructed but most importantly it is very quick and easy to select the times one worked, identify the tasks and the reports are well laid out. I hope more people will download it and find it useful and that development will continue.” This topic was modified 9 years, 10 months ago by enquirer32. Reason: Reappraised after some use
