Ultimate Auction for WooCommerce – Excellent WP Auction Plugin

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.

35 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 12 listed. 23 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

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 · 62% 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 2.8 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   I was enthusiastic about this plugin but was not wanting to buy the Pro version without testing the free version.Well this is what I have found in the free plugin:Firstly I did set the plugin for administrator to bid on his own auction as I wanted to see how the bidding process works.I set the Opening, Lowest, Bid Increment and Buy now price and then you only have the option to set the auction end date. Start start since you cant change that – is set at for the following day and the end date one is not able to change – so if by chance the auction is now expired while you testing – you cant set that date to a future date – if you do the Expired message still appears. One the one product – the auction is meant to have started and has not expired yet the Expired message is reflecting.Example: Today is the 7th – yet the start date is set for the 8th FebThe end date doesnt set and even if I change it to the 28 Feb, after saving it goes back to the 7th so the start is one day ahead of the end date.I saw no features that enable you to actually bid on the product – all you see is the bid amount and the start date – no input field for someone to bid – no buy now buttons not even the product attributes show up.Not a good start and if free version doesnt work out the box – then I’m def will not consider buying.I’m using the latest version of WordPress + WooCommerce and Avada.

   As a novice with such things, I had to call on them to address some issues. I could not have asked for better support, which was given freely even though I was only using their free version . I will be buying the Pro version now!
