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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    It’s simple and less intrusive than other plugins that do the same. It blends better with WordPress UI. It doesn’t show anything in the frontend if the correct code isn’t added to the theme, something like this I guess: <?php $taximg_id = get_queried_object()->term_id; // image id is stored as term meta $image_id = get_term_meta( $taximg_id, 'image', true ); // image data stored in array, second argument is which image size to retrieve $image_data = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $image_id, 'full' ); // image url is the first item in the array (aka 0) $image = $image_data[0]; if( $image ) { echo "<img src=" . $image . " class='term-image'>"; } ?> This topic was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by Alvaro Gois dos Santos.

    Not compatible with Woocommerce 3.6.3. All taxonomies disappear. This topic was modified 7 years, 2 months ago by joopon.

    Used this plugin to upload images for each category and child category using get_terms to display the images in a template.

    Plugin works as advertised. Found a small bug and @jjj was kind enough to fix it. What more could you ask for?
