WP phpBB Bridge

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.

   I never managed to get the posts to integrate, but I dont need that anyway….for integrating the users table from phpbb, it works great.

   No way to cross-post, useless.

   Plugin is absolute garbage. Installation instructions were followed to the letter and it probably helps that I have a Comp Sci degree and yet all this plugin managed to do is break my WP install.

   One word: Problems… Installed, follow the instructions, never get it to work… PHPBB 3.0.11 Finaly, I had to shut it off by DB in order to get WP to load again…

   I followed the instructions precisely as written, and the plugin worked for me the first time. Nice work! Since then, I’ve been making modifications to the plugins files, adding a modal dialog and reworking the user options box to suit my tastes. It has remained stable so far. I do think, however, that the plugin should in the future address the issue of avatars not appearing correctly for post author biographies (I’ve coded up a hack here, for those who are interested). Now, I’m probably going to get a fair amount of flak for this, but I feel that the author(s) of the plugin are somewhat…arrogant, rude and almost always absent. They offer very little support, and assume that all those who use their plugin are PHP experts. So my message to the authors is: swallow that Greek/Italian/Mediterranean pride, and pay attention to your user’s needs.

   Have been suffering an issue where the plugin will randomly deactivate itself. Requested help from the developer but I have not had a response, even after initially donating to remove advertising. Sadly it seems this plugin is not maintained. Suggest you stay away and look elsewhere.

   It was working great with older WP versions, but now it just disables by itself, sometimes.
