  • Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.15.

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.

    Hi Roel, Thanks for this plugin. Its very easy to use. However, I had a few feature requests: I want the counter to run on a decimal number. Something like 0 to 2.5 in 1 second. I tried using [countup start=”0″ end=”2.5″ decimals=”1″ scroll=”true” duration=”1″], but that ends at 25 instead of 2.5 I want a suffix, but want it in a slighly smaller size than the number. So in 2.5 Lakh, Lakh needs to be in a smaller font. If I put it outside the counter div, it goes to the next line. Is it possible to have run the counter whenever someone scrolls up and down and comes to that section? If these features are already available, pls let me know how to implement them. Thanks! Priyanka

    This plugin is the only one out there that allows you to use dynamic number directly from the database by using shortcode within a shortcode. For instance [countup start=”1″ decimals=”0″ duration=”5″][users_count][/countup] Thank you for adding this functionality. That person who gave you 4 stars needs to resubmit his review as it was his only reason for not giving you 5 stars! I’d give you 6 stars to cover it 😉 Thanks again!

    Works perfectly! The one missing star is only because I wish I could use an ending number from outside the shortcode itself. Like… [countup start="0" duration="3"]2,500[/countup] Then I could stick some PHP in there and source the number dynamically from content. Love the plugin though. You have all the classes n’stuff you need to make this do pretty much anything you want and it’s simple and light. 🙂 This topic was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by Jon Hardison. Reason: typo

    Finding this functionality to trigger the animation when the user scrolls to the content is tough. This works right out of the box. The newest params are so helpful. Thank you!

    Roel is really involved to find solutions. Great plugin.
