Video Player for WPBakery

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 · 41% 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.

   Doesn’t seem to let you put the video behind text or other data, but it doesn’t promise to do that . . .

   Don’t let the reviews fool you, working pretty nice and simple. There isn’t really any better alternative either. There is this one bug when the video from the block is going to get removed if you edit the block and you will have to reselect it from the wordpress library, but other than that it’s great.
