Widgets Reloaded

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 · 79% 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.

   Ran across this plugin a few years ago (!) when trying to improve my websites, and it was a great instant solution to add some functionality without a big learning curve. It’s basically self-explanatory, just install it and get going. Love software like this, thanks to the author.

   Does what it is supposed to. Removes so many headaches with the default widgets.

   A warning for people who use Link Manager. This plugin will see that widget disappear from your available widgets and worse, will delete all your previously created blogroll links. Deactivate this plugin and they’re still gone. Installing this plugin has costs me hours of extra work. There is no warning anywhere that this would happen. While I like the idea of this plugin, I think it’s wholly wrong to put forward a plugin that can do so much damage without comprehensive notes to warn people appropriately.
