WP JV Post Reading Groups

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 · 90% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Depuis la dernière mise à jour de WordPress ce plugin n’est plus compatible et engendre de nombreux soucis pour la gestion du site. wp-content/plugins/wp-jv-post-reading-groups/wp-jv-post-reading-groups.min.js: jQuery.fn.live() is deprecated J’espère vraiment que le développeur du plugin va résoudre ce bug… This topic was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by vincentwenet.

   Since the latest update, this has caused all manner of conflicts and we’re now looking for alternatives. The line/error that causes the issue is: wp-content/plugins/wp-jv-post-reading-groups/wp-jv-post-reading-groups.min.js: jQuery.fn.live() is deprecated I’m hoping the developers will fix this because previously, it was a brilliant solution.

   When this plugin is activated, Main Header Navigation only displays if a user is signed in. Public users cannot see the navigation. All other plugins are disabled and the cache is clear. In case he tries to respond properly now. Here is the support you will receive… Me: “When I activate your plugin, the Main Nav header is only visible to logged in users. Is this a bug that will be addressed in the future? Is there a workaround for it? Thank you” Janos: “If a category is part of the menu, but the current user has no access to any posts within it then it gets removed from the menu for the current user only. If this is your case as well, then it is not a bug, but a feature.” Me: “This is not the case. All posts are public. All categories are public. All menu items are categories. No menu items show unless signed in. They should see all posts. There are no private posts.” Janos: “Hmm. Why do you need my plugin then?” That is your support everyone. Good luck. Would rate this plugin 0 stars if it let me. Definitely, do not and will not ever use your plugin.

   This is exactly what I wanted! Very simple and effective. Still not using in production, but I don’t think it will let me down. I’m using with WP JV Custom Email Settings that also seems to work as expected!

   The plugin is great for post restrictions: it is very easy to use. Unfortunately, it only works for posts, not for pages.
