Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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

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 am using this plugin + Divi. It works just fine, but there is a bug with the slugs of the pages and the post types. If you have, for example, a post type with the slug “speakers” and your page is also call “speakers”, both slugs will be the same and this is causing the plugin to break. Most people on the internet are looking for this error as the page/2 error. Be sure the slugs does not match and it will work just fine. This topic was modified 3 years, 8 months ago by jesusjeco.

    A simple and excellent plugin. The display of the blog list becomes much smarter, so it is very useful. Currently, I’ve been using in combination with “Styles For WP Pagenavi Addon”.

    Pure code and so simple to customize. The simplest plugin I ever installed. A couple of minutes to get it working. Couldn’t be happier 🙂 I only added this snippet to replace my Woocommerce pagination: remove_action('woocommerce_pagination', 'woocommerce_pagination', 10); function woocommerce_pagination() { wp_pagenavi(); } add_action( 'woocommerce_pagination', 'woocommerce_pagination', 10);
