Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. acquisition value

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 plugin is great for restricting custom post types by user role on an e-commerce site. This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by kit-coda.

    With a little elbow grease, the possibilities are really interesting for a multisite installation, such as limiting the total number of WooCommerce products per site (regardless of the author). The plugin is not easy to learn, not very intuitive and would surely deserve to be more explicit on certain settings, however, it does the job and the author is responsive and attentive… so I recommend it 👍

    For the uniqueness it offers, supporting all post-types, a total lack of competition, the simplicity of operation, and that it’s 100% free, I wonder why this plugin is not already hitting 100K installs. As for features, I would love to see (1) native integrations with membership and subscription plugins, (2) Ability to limit based on parent – child CPT relationships, and (3) better UI All said, even in it’s current form, this plugin is gold. The author is extremely helpful, willing to login to your site and helping to troubleshoot. It doesn’t get better. Truly wish this plugin gets the limelight it deserves. Thank you Condless!

    This plugin should be unique in its kind But I need something else I need an option or code that allows each user in each role to see only their own posts, and completely hide the posts of others, even in search results (without any messages or bookmarks) **More details:** The user has to log in to get the content, and when he logs in he only sees his posts (as if there are no other posts on the website) Any help would be appreciated Thankful This topic was modified 4 years, 5 months ago by hamed.
