WP SSL Redirect

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 · 50% 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.

   So I was using Really Simple SSL, which is nice because it has more onsite features, but I NEEDED this plugin to force www to non www and it handles the SSL so, I was able to deactivate the redirection features of Really Simple SSL and just use WP SSL Redirect. This was great, because that meant I didn’t have to edit my .htaccess and risk it being overwritten later by a plugin or by saving the permalinks settings or something unknown to me.

   After I deactivated this plugin I couldn’t use WordPress, I can not sign in again because it is automatically redirecting to another page that is not related to my WordPress site, on the other hand I asked the author to help me to remove codes or database tables but he did not answer my questions.

   Exactly what I was looking for: a dead-simple way to force 301 redirects to my non-www page without having to edit my .htaccess file myself. Nice work.
