Widget Visibility Control

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank

wp.org popularity rank over time · lower is better

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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Another excellent plugin—thank you! As expected from Fernando Tellado, this plugin is simple, focused, and does exactly what it promises without unnecessary complexity. I had been using another plugin for the same purpose, but it was full of ads, upsells, and artificially restricted features. After years of frustration, switching to this was a relief. What stands out the most: All features are available in the free version, with no hidden limitations. Clean and focused functionality—no bloat, just what you need. No external connections, tracking, or data collection, which is increasingly rare and very appreciated. If you’re looking for a lightweight and trustworthy solution for widget visibility control, this plugin is a solid choice.

   The plugin works and is made for optimization.One ask – when there are many taxonomies (WC site) with many terms. When you select a Taxonomy, it takes minutes to find a term in the dropdown, because they are all listed in one dropdown. Would be great to have Txonomy > Select specific taxonomy > Select term in that taxonomy.
