WP Permastructure

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 · 97% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Thanks, finally a plugin that adds the ability to add custom permalinks with %you-own-category% for custom post types.

   The plugin did not what I expected. I decided to deactivate the plugin. After that, every page gave a 404 error. When I asked for support, a few months ago, I didn’t receive any reaction. So my advice, think twice before installing this plugin

   I wanted to rewrite a custom post type permalink that would include a taxonomy term (www.site.com/custom-post-type/term/postname) but I was unable to make it work. I tried bits and pieces of code I found on StackExchange but none worked 100%. I found this plugin and after activating it and updating the permalink structure for my post type, my permalink structure worked like a charm! Archive pages for post and taxonomy work also. Not sure what I did is correct, but both my CPT and the taxonomy have the same slug in the rewrite rule.
