WPC Smart Wishlist for WooCommerce

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.

91 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 70 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

   The plugin worked for me nearly out of the box, most changes I required I could find in the settings.Minor problems up to now:1) the plugin provides a localisation form for nearly all terms. However I didn’t manage to change the localisation term of “Whishlist” in the woocommerce user menu. Additionally, if i change the path name of the wishlist page, the link to this page is broken, it seems it is hard-coded in the whishlish-popup. 2) yet another plugin that clutters the main level of the admin panel with its brand name. Why not just integrate below “woocommerce/settings”?3) if messages in the popup require a line-break (which occurs often if aproduct name is longer), they look broken to the user because the following lines are not visible. Nevertheless, the free(!) plugin looks promising, if it proves itself I think it’s worth a donation 🙂 This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by Oliver Jusinger.

   The heart icon button styling is very ugly and can not be altered easily and the most important feature of them all that it should have and it doesn’t is placing the heart icon on product thumbnail
