Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Makes theme and site development and modifications so much easier and faster. I’ve been using this plugin for years; just noticed I’ve never reviewed it here, and decided to correct that oversight. This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by raygulick.

    This simple plugin save a bunch of time trying to reverse engineer which template a page is using. Quick download and install. Works as described.
