WP Abstracts

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 · 82% 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.

   I bought this plugin and it works fine, it’s a good plugin although some features are missing like being able to translate a few things or changing the positioning of some fields. This is a 5 star plugin! This topic was modified 5 months, 3 weeks ago by aeminium01. Reason: reply from support

   In config you can allow reviewers to submit abstracts, I needed some time to find it! This topic was modified 2 years ago by ccotal.

   This is a strange good plugin. I use the Pro version, works perfectly fine, support is really good and OK BUT definitly does not correspond to a real abstract submission system. Of course, registration, submission and review process are fine and OK but with important issues : – Reviewers must be “editor” and dispatcher must be site adim. This not acceptable. – No abstract bulk export possible, only attachement can be bulk downloaded – no qualified abstract/author listing export possible. Must do direct database extract…. So that means this plugin can only be usable on WP backend by people at least editor (and generaly not involved in the site content) , and no possible simple external treatment are easy to perform, which would be the basis for an universitarian event which need a full listing, full abstract exports, and specific right management. Sorry guys, the basis is great, but this plugin definitly does not fit (yet) the abstract management process. I wont renew and will use “ConfTool” which should hav been your “model”. Anyway thanks, it does not fully fit but we used it this time with (partial) succes. This topic was modified 3 years, 8 months ago by Aphrodite.

   I have requested assistance on the Abstract Pro plugin several times. Days have passed and I have not received a reply. I advise you not to buy the plugin because in case you need assistance, this will be absent. unreliable seller
