WP Lorem ipsum

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 · 94% 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.

   So here I am setting up a sandbox WP installation for testing plugins that I m writing. This wonderful little plugin just saved me hours of setup, giving me a full set of “real posts” and “real pages” to operate upon. Ten Stars!

   The plugin works great to add placeholder posts. Unfortunately, the placeholder text it adds includes “funny” words associated with meat, such as “Tenderloin short ribs cow ground round, drumstick’s kielbasa burgdoggen doner chicken”. I personally don’t care— but I wanted to show a demo to a client, and can’t do it with dummy content like this. This topic was modified 8 years, 3 months ago by jaemaz.

   Finally a really useful plugin. You can select number of posts, post type, and other parameters to fill your database during development. Good.
