VS Knowledge Base

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 · 74% 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 a lightweight plugin but it has a power feature. It is easy to configure and display posts. If you have a good understanding of css, it will be much better. In addition to that, the creator is very helpful and supportive. This topic was modified 7 years ago by Cheng(Alex) Peng.

   A quick and simple way to get up and running with a kb. Perfect for understanding what you need without feature clutter of “advanced” plugins. Good support also.

   Super straight forward and easy to use knowledge base plugin for posts. There isn’t a search bar though. Otherwise this is very nice.

   I really like this plugin. It’s simple and had almost everything I was looking for, and that is to display all Posts in a sitemap view categorized by Categories. Thank you so much.
