Out of Stock Message Manager for WooCommerce

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.

28 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 11 listed. 17 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

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 · 77% 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 7 months ago; the previous band took 24 months to cross, which places it about 70% of the way through.

   Used this plugin happily on my Kadence theme site for a while, but after an update I discovered that there was “bool(false)” text at the top left of every page — home page, and product pages. When I deactivated this Out of Stock plugin, all the “bool(false)” messages vanished…

   I updated the plugin and it crashed my website. I deactivated it and the site resolved. The plugin updates should be tested thoroughly before releasing to the public. This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by Syborg.

   After completing the build on my site for a digital product I disliked it saying out of stock because the product never is. This plugin was easy to use to remove that wording completely or replace it with something more appropriate. It works as advertised and was quite easy. Keep up the good work. Carl M. BusinessByWEB

   I needed to get rid of the “Out of Stock” message and the “Sold Out” bubble completely and they helped me check the correct box to achieve what we needed for that single product. IMO if you are running a Woo system then you need this plugin. We sell tournaments and “Tournament is Closed” is better than “Out of Stock” 🙂 I love this plugin, Steve
