How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Works well, (at least in a quick initial test) in SiteOrigin’s Page Builder plugin. You can use both the default Text widget or the Visual Editor widget (Black Studio TinyMCE). It looks like you need to use the Visual Editor widget in regular widget areas. The default Text widget didn’t appear to work in those areas, only in Page Builder.
