WP Change Default From Email

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 · 100% 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.

   Works as expected. Hoping you continue to make updates. I’d love to see a one-time support option for your work instead of a monthly Patreon contribution. If you set that up, let me know, and I’ll throw some money at you. Thanks!

   I had long-term trouble with my WP installations not sending out emails at all. In the end, the problem was in the way WordPress generates the from address in wp_mail. This plugin helped me to sort it out. Big thanks to the author 🎉🎉
