WP Recipe Maker

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

374 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 340 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

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.

Crossed into this band 5 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   We have been using WP Recipe Maker since 2021, initially with the free version and later with WP Recipe Maker Premium after several years of positive experience. The plugin is very versatile, increasingly complete, and clearly built with quality and long-term reliability in mind. It has become an important tool for our recipe content workflow. We also contributed by translating the full plugin, including both the free and Premium versions, into European Portuguese (pt-PT), because we value the project and its continued development. Thank you to the WP Recipe Maker team for the excellent work. Well done.

   I purchased the WP Recipe Maker premium plugin for a customer of mine. I had a few questions after starting to set things up on their website. Within a few hours I received a detailed response to my 3 questions. My follow-up question was also responded to very quickly. I learned some new things and know where to go (theme support) to resolve my remaining issue. WP Recipe Maker along with WP Ultimate Post Grid plugins pair well together and have a lot of features and customization possibilities. Well done!

   WP Recipe Maker is a great plugin that’s powerful, flexible, and works well with any food blog. It handles everything from ingredient lists to nutrition data without any issues. The support is really good – they respond quickly, know what they’re talking about, and actually help solve problems. The team puts in real effort to fix issues and keep improving the plugin. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants good recipe features and a smooth website experience.
