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.

53 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 32 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

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 · 98% 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 7 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   This plugin is very simple and works as expected. If you need to sell video courses through Woocommerce and payment gateway, this is the best choice. Perfect for combining LMS system with Woocommerce! They have a great support, they helped me step-by-step to resolve problem with AJAX on my client’s website. Thank you guys!

   I really like this plugin because it’s easy to use and I can create courses fast, without having any coding knowledge. I love the Premium version, because I can sell my courses through Woocommerce and the quizzes, attachments, badges, certificates make the learning more fun and engaging for my students. But, perhaps, the most important thing is that the support team quickly resolves any issues, even if they are not necessarily related to the plugin. Keep up the good work!

   I was new at using WP Courses LMS and also run into a problem, my wpc_courses was not loading the data in a right way. I asked help and within few hours i got help, it was a hard problem to solve. First we thought caching was the problem, but after shutting everything down it was not the solution. The solution was to make a new subdomain on my website instead of the current one, and that solved the problem. He was friendly, helpfull and determined to find a solution. Together we solved it ! Keep up the good work with this wonderfull plugin, looking forward to work with it. With such support it has to be a good plugin!

   I had my forst problem with WP Courses after a few years’ use. The problem was nothing to do with WP Courses it was a PHP issue on my site. Nevertheless they very quickly looked at the problem and suggested where the problem might lie and they were right. A very quick and friendly service even if the problem was nothing to do with them.

   I’ve tried other lms plugins, but this was the simplest and easiest – others were complex and loaded with features I did not need. What I really wanted was a way of organising my how-to-draw youtube videos into playlists with extra text and images. WP Courses LMS does just that. Now I have it up and running, I’m building a new course that goes with a book and series of videos. The course is added-value for the book and videos so I’ll not be charging, therefore I can’t tell you how it integrates with payment systems, i’m afraid. I’d like to thank Myles for making the basic plugin free and for such amazing and rapid support. I had a problem after an upgrade. Myles had a fix up almost within the hour!
