WP Date and Time Shortcode

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 · 72% 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.

   What about a Roman month dates? I did this in the standard WordPress date field ($text = str_replace(‘January’, ‘I’, $text);). However, the standard field does not allow HTML. Can you add Roman numerals to the date? Thank you!

   曜日を日本語で表示するには数字で表示を選択して一つづつ指定する必要があるのか、困っていましたが、mon-sunで指定したら普通に日本語の月-日で表示されました。WPのサイトの言語で対応してくれてるんですね! 時刻と曜日だけ表示したかったけど、シンプルと思いきやなかなか思ったサンプルコードがなかったので大変助かりました! ありがとうございます💛
