Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Installed the plugin and activated it. Instantly crashed backend. Didn’t seem to affect the front end. Unless the plugin gets updated I recommend avoiding it and getting a more recently updated one. This topic was modified 9 years, 6 months ago by dominykaselite.

    Plugin hasn’t been updated in 7 months and doesn’t seem to work properly with WP 4.4. I’d ask the author to update or discontinue this plugin.

    It says “Sorry for the confusion but you must install and activate Tom M8te before you can use SEO Redirect 301s. Please go to Plugins/Add New and search/install the following plugin: Tom M8te” Now what is Tom M8te: “Tom M8te provides useful functions that you can use in your plugins. Such as a nice function for adding social share links and database manipulation functions. The social links link to Facebook and Twitter share links.” bs

    I messed up my permalinks when I reinstalled wordpress. When I did that I was only getting 404 redirects….I hated that. I wanted people to get to the original content and this plugin fixed it. Other plugins want you to enter the each rediect……too much work!! This plugin works!!
