WP No Base Permalink

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 · 93% 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.

   I went through all the options. I refuse to use Yoast; can’t stand it. Many of the other category base removers break stuff or their plugin breaks completely at some point. This one works well, set redirects, and allows the removal of the tag taxonomy if you please. Tags seem to be pointless as well. Please keep this one alive.

   Works great. My interest in it is removing the tag base, and it does that well. Not immediately clear that the plugin adds new options to the Settings > Permalink page (the category base is removed by default, but the tag base isn’t–you have to enable that option).

   This plugin made my life easier with the “Remove Parents Category” option. And everything else works perfectly; as described. Thank you for making this plugin available and keep it updated!! 🙂
