WP Comment Policy Checkbox

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 · 89% 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 like it more than the wordpress solution with cookie consent, because the consent is stored in the database. It works as long you use the native WordPress comment form. You just have to add the link to your privacy policy page. If you want more, you find the plugin settings is available under Settings -> Discussion. Using this plugin since years now and I am absolutely satisfied. Thank you.

   It works for native WordPress comment form. Once installed it is ready to use (just need to link your privacy policy page but it works without the page). Just in case, this plugin settings is available under Settings > Discussion.

   Excellent, straightforward, lightweight plugin provides a functionality that really should be part of WordPress core at this point. Until it is, this is a useful solution — and a more logical approach than some others I’ve tried because it directly associates acceptance with the actual comment in the database.
