WP-PostRatings

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. 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.

   Seems that Lester Chan is not supporting this plugin. I am currently unable to update the plugin in WordPress without issues. He is not responsive. The plugin was also supposed to report the ratings to Google which is does not. Why does WP allow abandoned plugins to remain on their site? If the plugins are not supported by the developers they should be removed.

   Very great plugin, so far it works very well and meets expectations. The only thing I have a problem with is getting comfortable with adding custom icons, preferably as a path to the icon directory in the site theme instead of in the plugin.
