Product Author for WooCommerce

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 · 65% 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.

   Just what I needed when I didn’t think such a plugin existed. Great support by Nitin who helped me get it to do what I needed. Thanks!

   This plugin is easy to use and works great! If the Author would consider expanding the plugin to be able to assign a different Author using Products > Bulk Edit. I had to go into several products and reassign a new author one by one. Using the Bulk Edit method would save a lot of time.
