WP Anywhere Widgets

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 · 81% 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.

   This is such a fantastic and much needed plugin – incredibly helpful if you’re customising your site or need to insert sidebars and widgets across the site.

   I needed to paste a script to display an online radio station playlist, and strangely it would only show a formatted playlist within a widget. In a post, it only displayed a button and a link. No playlist. BUT this plugin solved the problem. By creating a shortcode from that widget (brilliant!), I was able to display the playlist in a post correctly, which is exactly what was needed. Thank you to the developers!

   Good plugin, not a bad at all!! But, “my “deal of the day” sidebar css was not functioning when I was displaying through shortcode on “sticky on scroll” widget. If it gets fixed = 5 star. This topic was modified 2 years, 5 months ago by Skrlance.

   Thanks for that simple but useful solution for generating and showing the widget ID and showing me a shortcode for that, that I can add in a post or page content – works fine with my WP 6.2, thank you!
