WooCommerce New Product Badge

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.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

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.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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.

Crossed into this band 4 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 65% of the way through.

   I just installed and tested this and it works, but I cannot get to the settings for changing the amount of days that determines whether a product is new or not. I’m actually surprised it worked at all, considering the last review was more than 2 years ago. A plugin update seems to be in order, otherwise I probably will eventually have to switch to something else that is more up to date with the current version of WooCommerce (3.4.3)

   Would it be better if there is a link or a page, that will show all new products? Thanks for the nice plugin.

   I just installed and activated the plugin however it’s not showing. Is there anything else I’m missing other than setting the days? Thanks.

   1. Author of the plugin seems not to respond on support page so when you want to localize the badge to your language and you don’t know how – you’re out of luck. 2. The badge looks awful. Who the hell designed that? Color? Rotten strawberries. It should be green as green light on the road. Red colors usually are set for stop, warning, lack of something. Red color don’t seem right for new products. At least that’s my personal opinion. Set color is just a bad idea. 3. There are no options but the amount of days to show the badge. It’s too little. Where is style, color, translated “new” word? In the end it’s useless for people who don’t know programming and are not from English speaking country.
