WP Multibyte Patch

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 · 84% 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.

Reviewers, old and new, say it just works once installed with no setup and quietly fixes multibyte character issues, and nobody reports a problem.

   Installed this cz some characters were breaking on my site. After activating, everything started working fine. No setup needed, just works in background. tnx devs for keeping it simple 👍

   Added it to handle multibyte characters, and it works smoothly. Didn’t need to configure much. Just installed and forgot about it. Everything has been running fine since then. tnx devs for keeping it light.

   Wordpress5からデフォルトでなくなったので「もういらない」と思ったら大間違い。 現在でも日本語ファイルのアップロードなどでも困らないように対処してくれます。
