WP Social Ninja – Embed Social Feeds, User Reviews & Chat Widgets

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I had an issue recently where only 10 reviews were being pulled in – I reached out to support and within a few minutes I received a response. Support worked out I was using an old version of the plugin – my mistake completely! The plugin functionality is flawless….happy to recommend.

   I wish I had found this review plugin sooner as I had already wasted money on a more expensive alternative. WP Social Ninja does exactly what I need to display Google Reviews on our website and was really easy to set up, even with multiple Google Business Profiles.

   Skvělý plugin s drobnou rezervou.WP Social Ninja funguje velmi dobře a dlouhodobě s ním mám pozitivní zkušenosti. Nabízí přesně to, co slibuje, a integrace sociálních sítí je přehledná a spolehlivá. Jediné malé mínus vidím v tom, že při aktualizaci nebo případném problému člověk často zjistí nefunkčnost až ve chvíli, kdy se podívá na web. Chybí mi zde včasná notifikace nebo upozornění na problém. I přesto jde o výborný plugin, který mohu doporučit – proto dávám 4 hvězdičky z 5 👍

   Have had a Pro sub for a few years now … the recent update made things a lot clearer with much finer detail available.Had an issue with Facebook feed and masonry layout which turned out to be down to JavaScript timing – support looked into it on live site and provided an updated version which fully fixed the issue. Clear and professional communication, much appreciated.

   Paid for the pro plugin to get a Facebook Events Feed active on the website. Been in contact with the support staff for over two weeks, they haven’t fixed anything yet and are extremely incapable of communicating clearly about the issue.

   When my previous review plugin announced they were closing down, I needed a new one. After some research I settled on using WP Social Ninja. When importing my old reviews, I could not get it to work straight away but received fantastic support from the developer who in the end sent me a video showing the entire process on my staging site. Very helpful!
