Toggle wpautop

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 · 91% 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.

   wpautop adds p and br tags to HTML which can really mess things up. This plugin allows authors to disable the wpautop filter when necessary.

   Solves inherent flaw in WP for editing custom web pages where WP puts in tags you don’t want (try doing a definition list with double line breaks, and see how it breaks that with paragraph tags — this fixes stuff like that). Allows for clean migration of existing static page HTML to WP, without having to fix the nanny-fixes WP tries to put in without asking and which are then hidden from you. Simply priceless plugin for webdev. If you don’t know why this is so awesome, you likely don’t need it. If you do know, you know why you must have it! And FYI: works with PHP 7.2 as of May 2018.

   Had huge issues with carefully coded pages that WP “fixed” for me. Now I can avoid it this, while keeping autoformatting where it’s handy.
