WP Scraper

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 · 78% 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.

   This is one of my favourite plugins, it saves me hours of work where I normally migrate pages the old cut and paste way. This is a massive time saver. Not sure why some have said it doesn’t work, it does and I have scraped hundreds of pages.

   This is a great plugin and it helped me in solving a few complicated problems in a client’s website. I, however, had to make a few minor adjustments to suit our purpose. One change that I had to do was add a redirect to the post edit page after saving the scraped content in single scrape mode. It’ll be great if the author considers this as a feature request. Thanks.

   This isn’t a bad plugin – per-say! (you don’t say?) I cannot give it a full 5 star review, but it does derive (it), especially for what it tries to achieve. In use, in your admin backend on the purpose build scrape screen, you select the target web-page to (scrap), grab the title, grab the content: then save, but you can only save it as a (Post) – Not a (Page!) Which then necessitates converting it, but at least the image links get dragged over and saved properly. The advert at the bottom isn’t welcome, which then necessitates yet more editing. Now, I’m moving hosts and sites soon, and I am looking at dragging over only half of my content. Cloning is gonna be hard work, this could do it, but the Post -> Page means that it’s a pain. This feature is no doubt in the Pro version, but I don’t know. As I say, this Plugin ain’t half bad, but fiddly to use: especially if you’ve got a hundred or so Pages to go through. If you’ve got the time, then fire it up. Hope it helps.

   I recently had an issue with the Live Scraper not functioning on one of my sites. I wrote to the plugin owner, and almost immediately, I received a reply from Robert, one of the partners. He was extremely courteous and he followed through with several emails back and forth, all within a short period of time. This challenging issue was resolved very quickly, and now, I have happy clients. I have used the WP Live Scraper plugin for several months now, and found it to be extremely easy to use with no issues other than the one I described above which turned out to be nothing more than CSS code. Hi Praises!
