Cloak Affiliate Links for WooCommerce

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.

   Plugin has problem with cloaking affiliate links when data feed imported through All Import plugin into woocommerce. All old product imports finished before cloaking addon installation does fine and when clickon button it leads you where it should. However , when cloaking addon is active while importing products through data feed ,addon just sets cloaking link instead affiliate link and on click doesn’t lead anywhere… And if you disable addon , those cloaking links stay permanently on product unless you rerun your product feed again so it can update aff links. Other products which are imported before plugin activation and they were cloaked with new permalink after plugin deactivation returns original url. Although , if you run WP All Import manually addon works flawlessly. It seams that only has problem with feeds scheduled with Cron jobs This topic was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by borgcollective. This topic was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by borgcollective.

   Do not pay attention to the fact that the plugin has few active installations at the moment. It is truly the best in its segment. There is no need to configure anything – I activated the plugin and the problem is solved. Even though 5 stars is the maximum rating, I will rate it 10 stars! Highly recommend!
