WP Force Lowercase URLs

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 was looking for alternative solutions to editing an .htcaccess file or adding code to a server. Just a light weight, quick solution! This topic was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by drew.

   I recommended using WP Force Lowercase URLs on all of my employer’s websites hosted at WPEngine. We ended up mass-installing the plugin on more than 150 websites using WordPress 4.3 and WordPress 4.4. It’s truly an excellent plugin and does exactly what the name says. I really appreciate the work that went into creating this easy fix for a big problem. Thanks Josh!

   This plugin is awesome, it does one thing very well (that should be built into WordPress anyway!) and isn’t bloated with a million features. Highly recommended.
