WP Coder – Insert & Manage Code Snippets

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

166 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 125 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 56% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 5.7 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   Es un plugin muy útil, además de los códigos personalizados, añade otras herramientas que también pueden ser útiles. No obstante, me gustaría sugerir una mejora, sería muy útil añadir una nueva columna llamada “Location” en la lista de “Code Snippets” que indique donde se está ejecutando el código, ojalá puedan añadirlo en una próxima actualización.

   Does not work for me. 403 on save – any ideas? “403 Forbidden Access to this resource on the server is denied!”

   Works, except string literals, like message = We can make change for ${totalString} with ${nickelsString} nickels and ${penniesString} pennies!; document.querySelector('#status').innerHTML = message; , display with missing whitespace. Instead of just adding my js code to the page, this plugin breaks it into some weird eval function that doesn’t work with whitespace: eval(function(p, a, c, k, e, d) { This topic was modified 2 years, 10 months ago by drahcirj.

   Indeed the latest version of the plugin has new useful features but I revert back to the older version. The new update ruined 26 web apps I had live in community along with custom pages for premium community members. Kind of ruined 2 years of hard work so who’s going to fix that?! Reverted back to older version yet some of the custom pages didn’t got fixed. :/ It supposed to simplify things not making it harder to recode.
