VikRentItems Flexible Rental Management System

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.

79 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 51 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 · 68% 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 10 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Sidenote: I tried this plugin because the other plugin from this developer (VikRentCar) was missing a crucial element. VikRentCar does not allow the user to book multiple vehicles at once. This was essential for me because I’m building a site for a company that does motorbike rentals for group tours.VikRentItems does allow for multiple rentals (like a cart), however, it’s too buggy and I don’t have confidence in it’s stability if I was to deliver it to the client.What I Liked: Flexible Pricing Features: The plugin allows for detailed pricing setups, including variable pricing for different rental durations. This feature is incredibly useful for a rental business like mine, where customers renting for longer periods get a lower daily rate. Customizability: VikRentItems offers extensive configuration options, making it adaptable to different types of rental businesses. Feature-Rich: The plugin supports many advanced features such as pickup and drop-off locations, which are critical for a rental service operating across multiple locations. Good Foundation: The plugin provides a solid framework for a rental system, with built-in tools for automated calculations and order processing.Support: I found the support got back to me in good time. They acknowledged the bugs, and suggested solutions and alternatives. What I Didn’t Like: Critical Error with WebP Images: When uploading WebP images for products, the plugin causes a critical error, making it impossible to use this image format. This is frustrating, as WebP is a modern, efficient image format that I use throughout my website. Oddly, the VikRentCar plugin supports WebP images without issue, so I hope this can be addressed in a future update. Pagination Issue in Fares Table: The “Fare for Days” table has pagination issues, it only shows a maximum of 30 days on each page. Clicking the arrows to view the next set of days doesn’t work, and the link points to “javascript:void(0);”. For a rental service like mine, which needs pricing for 90 days across multiple items, this is a major limitation. The pagination worked perfectly in VikRentCar, so it’s disappointing to see it not functioning here. Media Directory Integration: The plugin doesn’t allow users to select product images from the WordPress Media Library, requiring uploads directly from a local machine. This results in duplicate images and unnecessary storage usage. Additionally, there is no option to delete images once they are assigned to a product, creating complications for updates or corrections. Conflicts with VikRentCar: Running VikRentItems alongside VikRentCar caused label conflicts where “Cars” was displayed instead of “Items.” Disabling VikRentCar resolved this issue, but it’s inconvenient if both plugins are needed on the same website. Lack of Migration Tools: There’s no built-in way to transfer data from VikRentCar to VikRentItems. This was disappointing since I had already spent significant time setting up my motorbike inventory in VikRentCar and now need to redo everything manually. Steep Learning Curve: Some options in the dashboard are vague, and it’s unclear what they do without extensive trial and error. Adding tooltips or brief descriptions for each option would make the plugin more user-friendly. No Error Logs for Critical Issues: When critical errors occur (e.g., the WebP image issue), nothing appears in the WordPress debug logs. This makes troubleshooting harder and prolongs resolution times. Final Thoughts: VikRentItems has a lot of potential, but it feels like it’s not quite polished yet. While it offers many features ideal for a rental business, the bugs and usability issues make it frustrating to use in its current state. If these issues are addressed in future updates, it could easily become a five-star plugin. For now, I recommend trying the free version thoroughly to ensure it meets your needs before upgrading to the paid version. This topic was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by niall32.

   I’ve put off giving this review for months, hoping I’d be impressed by anything. Unfortunately after dozens of hours configuring/re-coding an extremely buggy system, poor support that was not helpful (I created my own solutions), I’m left with a site that Google isn’t indexing. I tried to save a few bucks, and of course in the end wasted way more time and lost business because of a poorly made/supported product (has all the right features and the right price, but of course is too good to be true).
