WP Resume

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 · 91% 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.

   It’s working for me on WP 4.6.1. The basic idea is great — maintaining CV information in structured records, then displaying it using semantic mark-up including microformats. In that respect it’s exactly what I wanted. It works well enough to display my basic CV. I quickly found some rough edges (e.g. empty contact data elements when I choose not to include contact data) and bugs (e.g. a start/end date given as just a year like ‘2010’ is converted to today’s date) and features lacking (e.g. no place to add an employer’s logo; contact info format is extremely limited). It outputs only Microformats v1 hResume, not Microformats 2 h-resume.

   It works quite well once you figure it out. I have no complaints.

   All of a sudden this is giving me a “500 Internal Server Error” after updating to WordPress 4.0. I doubt this plugin will be updated, it’s been over a year since it was active.

   I spent a while trying to get this plugin to even work and ultimately could not. Some of my problems might be fixable via support requests but unfortunately requests don’t get responded to for months. Ultimately it struck me that it takes more time to download and install a resume plugin than it would to just type one up in a regular page. Also; if you intend to make a skill-oriented cv rather than a cv that just rattles off your work history, this plugin isn’t really what you want.
