VK Post Author Display

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 · 27% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   The title is wrapped in an <h4> tag, which causes issues when generating automatic tables of contents, as it gets picked up in the TOC or is treated as part of the preceding section. This makes it inconvenient to use. If the plugin allowed users to choose or customize the wrapping tag—such as <strong> or <div><span>—it would greatly enhance its usability. Other than this, the plugin works reasonably well, but this particular design choice could be a significant drawback depending on the layout. I would appreciate it if this could be improved.
