WP Post Series

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 · 88% 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.

   To be fair, it is described as a basic plugin, but still installed fine with WordPress 5.7 and does do the job quite well. However, when deactivated and deleted, it left the subcategory “Series” under Dashboard “Posts”, a column Post Series under All Posts, and a Post series text box in the Quick Edit window. Would be nice if it cleaned up after itself.

   This is an excellent tool for any regular blogger, as it lets you group together a collection of posts or articles. It’s lightweight, no configuration needed, and it will show all articles in a series at the top of a post so readers can see other relevant articles.

   Tried several of the many post series plugins out there, and finally settle on this one. I like the clean addition of the Series header above each post and the drop down menu to show all other posts in the serise. Would like to see: Ability to close the drop-down box of related posts with an additional click. (Seems like this is in the development version and forthcoming. Quick ability to embed a dynamic list of all posts in a series on to a static page. (Or, assign a static “home” page for each series.) Thanks so much for a great plugin, this will definitely make one of my upcoming blogging projects much easier.

   I had been using another plugin to add a series taxonomy but it had way more features than I used and it ate a lot of server resources. On the other hand, this plugin does just enough, does so elegantly, and is light on the resources used.
