Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 53% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

This plugin actually looked promising and although it has not been updated for a while, it works in WP 4.1 However, the recent FAQ-widget just points back to the FAQ-page and is not showing actual recent FAQ’s.

I am moving content from Google sites to WordPress and this made the FAQ migration a matter of cut and paste.

Normally I avoid anything coded in FL, but this plugin rocks. Gave me a way to manage FAQs quickly and even better gave my client a way to add new ones without fear of breaking them.

…if you have more than one FAQ category and want to separate them by category, for example: Category Heading FAQ Category Heading FAQ Category Heading FAQ and so on… It outputs each FAQ section as a div with an ID: <div id="faq-block">FAQs</div> It goes against standards to have multiple divs with the same ID on a page so it fails W3C validation. It’s easy enough to change it to a class in the plugin’s PHP, CSS and JS files, but since I’m really only using base functionality of the plugin, I don’t know what effect it may carry through some of the more advanced features. It looks as if there are some navigation features that may be broken by doing this, but I don’t really have time to dig into it further right now. Seriously, I don’t know what the cross section of people that care about this kind of thing vs. people that don’t is around WP, and some may call this nit-picking, but I do care for any sites that I build. I figure others may care as well.

So far its best among other FAQ plugins. Just need some more support in defining the layout.
