WP Old Post Date Remover

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 · 100% 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.

   Old Post Date Remover does exactly what you expect it to do! We have many posts that are not date-specific — the posts contain information that is helpful regardless of the date, but readers will sometimes think it’s “old info” and may go looking elsewhere. By hiding the post’s date, readers aren’t scared away … and they linger longer on our website. Great job, Ben Meredith!

   I like the simplicity of this plugin however, I only gave it 4 stars because I would like it to remove the dates from the blog home page. Or at least give me that option thanks!

   I used this on the Contempo theme. I have short courses – serial posts, the dates are a distraction and irrelevant. The dates are in a large green box on each post, upper left corner. I was worried about how this plugin would effect the look or if it would work. Looks great, the posts are neat, aligned, and uniform – nothing choppy or hacked looking. I thank the theme developer as well. I like that it leaves other meta info like author. And I like that the dates remain on the home page – which I did not think that I would. The dates on the blog/home page keep things looking fresh and forces me to add content. Thank you for a well developed plugin.
