Product Sort and Display 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 · 85% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   This thing is very bloated and full of bugs. Everything is turned on by default, and most things cant be turned off.. It is way too opinionated and adds a lot of styled elements, google fonts and other crap.. Avoid!

   un plugin que te ayuda a organizar por categoria tus productos o servicios, este plugin en su version grautita es bueno pero en su version de paga tiene muchas opciones que de seguro nos ayudaran mas en el organizado de nuestros productos y descripciones.

   When you search for plugins on your Worpdress site, there is a highlighted area that says if the plugin is compatible with your version of WordPress. It looks like this: “Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress.” Believe that warning. EXTRA EXCLAMATION !!!!!!!!! It is there for a reason. Lost one entire day going into cPanel WordPress files, that I should not have been going through,because of my skill level, but had to anyway, to clean the damage that this “Free” plugin caused. Thankfully I didn’t screw my site up.I was almost ready to contact my hosting company to “Nuke” my site back to GROUND ZERO. Site is still a mess.I need a cleanup plugin, but can’t find one that says it’s compatible with my version of WordPress. Mine is on automatic update. Sorry for the rant. But I love WordPress, and it’s a community, and I have to warn fellow WordPressers. Sorry for Rant. I’m really pissed I didn’t heed the warning,:( …OUT…

   Uses h1 tags for all category title, which is poor seo practice. No templating system so developers can override this poor markup.

   I used this plugin for a while and also reported the errors. The plugin negatively affects the product search. I was able to repair it last time and also reported it in the support forum. My report was not answered and after the last update the error appeared once again and I am not able to repair it anymore. Also for SEO this plugin is not good as it causes to many H1 tags. It has nothing to do with the theme as I use storefront theme which is fine. I will look for another plugin. This topic was modified 8 years, 11 months ago by Webcrashpilot.
