WP Post Nav

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.

   cant remove their branding from it, cant make the arrows just arrows without the annoying 400px flyout that isnt needed. wont just display post from the actual category I want and flips through pages and post together. I will keep looking.

   Works perfectly. If you want to display previous/next posts for ONLY THE SAME CATEGORY, this plugin does it.

   I ran into a small, mildly annoying issue with WP Post Nav caused by the latest WP update. I contacted John and he had my issue solved in short order. It took a bit of a rewrite of the plugin, but that didn’t stop John at all. It’s unusual to get such a quick response from software developers. When we do get such outstanding service, it must be noted. Dave Kinnear CEO dbkAssociates, Inc.
