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 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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   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.
