WP Change Email Sender

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 · 65% 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.

   On our development and live websites, it did indeed add a “reply to” to outgoing email headers which was what I wanted, but only if I didn’t activate the forced changes to “Name” and “From” in the plugin. When I did activate these, the “reply to” line was not added and the “Name” and “From” changes not activated (presumably overwritten by the plugins we use – Ultimate member and Send Users Emails).However this was a good result as it was the “reply to” addition I was looking for.

   This is good, it is working fine. Unfortunately, application results in a CS7 warning message, warning that I have opened up CS7 to easy spamming. Now just waiting to see how that pans out in practice.
