WP Post Email Notification

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.

   As others stipulated the plugin doesn’t have much options, however what it does, it does really well. It is a great solution to notify subscribers of new posts and the mails are received in reasonable time (of course they are send in jobs, to avoid overloading) and it works reliable. The feature that lacked most for me was translating, however in the source code the translation are easily made. The lack of updates is in this case really easy (though it is of course a work-around).

   This is a nice plugin, works as intended but needs more options, namely: * WPML support * Possibility of changing sender’s Name and Email * Sending also the featured image with the notification Like the widget option!!
