WP Comment Humility

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.

   I assume some people would freak if it got added in core! But it should be this way, then require a plugin to move it “back” out. Excellent plugin!

   I’m all for a clean WP Dashboard and since comments are finally exclusively for Posts (or at least by default disabled for Pages), it only makes sense to declutter the Dashboard and moving comments to where they belong. Thanks for developing WP Comment Humility! The only suggestion I have is to rename it as the word humility may make sense to native English speakers, it does much less to non-native English speaking people, the other 95% of the world population 😉

   This never occurred to me before, but as soon as I saw the plugin I couldn’t unsee it. Having “Comments” under “Posts” in the navigation of my personal site’s admin just makes sense. I don’t use custom post types that have comments.

   This plugin does exactly what’s stated on the box, moving “Comments” under the “Posts” heading. @jjj makes an excellent point regarding custom post types with comments enabled, but for standard WordPress installations this plugin’s fantastic.
