weDocs: AI Powered Knowledge Base, Docs, Documentation, Wiki & AI Chatbot

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.

166 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 143 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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 42 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 5K.

At the current install trend, crossing 6K+ in roughly 153 days.

   I’ve been using wedocs for a few years now and it has always worked well. I use the free version, which is sufficient for my needs. It has everything I need. I have a site that contains user manuals for assets I distribute, and it is perfect.

   Like so many plugins that used to be good, this one also seems to have been acquired just for profit and now it has become complete trash. Seriously, the free plugin is completely useless, and is nothing more than a step to force you and buy the pro plugin. I’m not giving plugins one star easily, but this free version really deserves it. I’m not talking about the pro version. That one might be amazing. But I’m not going to try it. The authors should consider pulling this plugin from wp.org and use their own channels to promote the plugin

   I’m sorry to say this but after using Wedocs with the pro version, it is a terrible plugin, adding countless useless scripts to all pages (and if I disable it on the front page with Perfmatters it will not work anywhere else) The support is also awful, answering in more than a month to anything (if it answers at all!) Makes the pages very slow, like 8 seconds load on mobile, tho all my other websites not using this plugin are fast. If I disable this plugin on some pages (using Perfmatters plugin) those pages are fast. There are also problems with the plugin itself as it has problems with displaying properly on all devices (the widget will not fit smaller laptops for example), and the AI chat, which is the reason why I bought the plugin, didn’t work at all for a month, and it’s not really working good now, it offers only one answer instead of searching through all the docs, showing all the relevant links (in the past it used to show 2 links, now just one). Why do you make this plugin so terrible (when I enable it it doubles my source code lines, from 1600 lines to over 3300 lines!), loading so many scripts if it doesn’t even need them? even disabling the widget will not stop the scripts loading. Disabling the plugin will remove all these scripts. for example, look what it loads: ‘react-dom-js’, ‘wp-escape-html-js’, ‘wp-element-js’, ‘wp-is-shallow-equal-js’,‘wp-keycodes-js’, ‘wp-priority-queue-js’, ‘wp-compose-js’, ‘wp-private-apis-js’,‘wp-redux-routine-js’, ‘wp-data-js’, ‘wp-blob-js’, ‘wp-autop-js’,‘wp-block-serialization-default-parser-js’, ‘wp-html-entities-js’, ‘wp-rich-text-js’,‘wp-shortcode-js’, ‘wp-blocks-js’, ‘moment-js’, ‘wp-date-js’, ‘wp-primitives-js’,‘wp-warning-js’, ‘wp-components-js’, ‘wp-keyboard-shortcuts-js’, ‘wp-commands-js’,‘wp-notices-js’, ‘wp-preferences-persistence-js’, ‘wp-preferences-js’,‘utils-js’, ‘moxiejs-js’, ‘plupload-js’, ‘json2-js’, ‘underscore-js’,‘media-models-js’, ‘wp-plupload-js’, ‘mediaelement-core-js’, ‘mediaelement-migrate-js’,‘wp-polyfill-inert-js’, ‘regenerator-runtime-js’, ‘wp-polyfill-js’,‘media-views-js’, ‘media-editor-js’, ‘media-audiovideo-js’, ‘wp-api-fetch-js’,‘wp-deprecated-js’, ‘react-js’, ‘wp-url-js’, ‘wp-a11y-js’, ‘clipboard-js’,‘wp-api-request-js’, ‘wp-mediaelement-js’, ‘backbone-js’, ‘jquery-ui-sortable-js’,‘wp-dom-ready-js’, ‘wp-hooks-js’, ‘wp-i18n-js’ why? if you want to have a chance with this plugin, please work on its optimization!

   I have tried different Docs plugins for WordPress. This is simply the best. Pros: 1. Easy to use 2. Light-weight. This is extremely important. Some search engines will put limit on the page size. I used other Docs plugins, which add heavy codes to each page. The result is a huge penalty on the website ranking. 3. Multiple docs support.
