HT Politic – For Political WordPress Themes / Website

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.

   This theme is not for newbies. It’s too complicated and the documentation is lacking. They desperately need a step-by-step guide to get a simple campaign website up and running. They need to recommend a simple theme that is easy to install and use. The one from recommended from ThemeForest is too big, too complicated and too lacking in support for newbies to use. Save your money and skip this plugin and recommended themes.
