WP Post Expires

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.

   Update 3/8/21. Not working with 5.6.2. Several issues from earlier support tickets seem to still be unresolved. The time-picker isn’t appearing under the calendar picker. Custom Post Types aren’t being expired. I notice that support tickets going back one year haven’t been answered. Is this plugin being supported?

   Upon first installation, the date picker doesn’t work when trying to set the expiry date. Well, that basically renders this plugin useless. Great idea, but needs to work properly first.

   I did not read the installation instructions carefully and thought the plugin would not work on CPTs. However, when I realized I did not configure it properly, I have come back here and changed my review. No issues at the moment. I like that it is a light-weight plugin. Not super fancy., but it works. Not seeing any follow-up from the developer on many user’s questions in the support area. This topic was modified 8 years, 4 months ago by rimell. Reason: Changed my review

   Doesn’t work with SiteOrigin PageBuilder. When activated, PageBuilder doesn’t show up in Post/Page editor.
