Welcome Popup

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 · 100% 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.

   Weak plugin. Modal keeps popping up every time, cookies are not being set properly, which is basic and essential for this functionality. I recommend a plugin called Modal Dialog instead.

   It displays an overlay, that is working. The title is displayed, fine. But the content which can be given isn’t, instead part of the page content is displayed, which isn’t at all what is expected…

   I can not recommend this plugin. It was not working reliable and what is even worth, it is conflicting with the html editor.

   The potential is definitely there, but the popup is showing on every page of the site even though its set to only load on first visit. I’ve signed up for the newsletter, gone to another page, even back to the same page and it keeps popping up. If I was a visitor, it would completely turn me off.
