User Notes

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.

   This is GREAT plugin! But I’d love it even more if you could add note from user list (like Plugin Notes Plus which is super quick) rather than open up the profile page. But I’m not complaining – thanks for this 🙂 This topic was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by epgb101. This topic was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by epgb101.

   Thanks for the plugin. Simply adds a box to the user profile to add private notes. No frills or fuss!

   Este es un plugin bastante útil. Para sitios de varios niveles de usuario y con participación en el sitio. Buena idea del creador. El plugin funciona bien y es muy liviano, sólo es un archivo .php. No tiene archivo .po para traducirlo así que hay que modificar tres o cuatro textos en el php. Gracias.

   This is very helpful. However, I’d prefer a solution where you can see and edit notes in the list view (similar to Plugin Notes Plus).

   This was perfectly designed. It was easy to intuit how to use. I knew I could have added a field to the user profile but I had no idea how to make it only viewable to the admins. This plug in did that AND made it possible to view it on the Users Page. Thanks!!

   I’ve got thousands of users on my site and this is perfect for ad hoc notes on each of them. It would be nice to be able to search the notes, and also nice if we could edit a note through a popup (in the same way we can view through popup) rather than go to a separate page. But all in all, very useful indeed!

   It’s a very handy tool that allows me to add notes to users that only the administrators can see which is perfect!
