WP Theater

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 · 94% 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.

   Support is fast and thorough. Now that I have the plugin working, it’s easy to use and has a beautifully designed display of my Youtube playlist.

   I updated to the latest version, and created the v3 API with the domain name, but I see no videos. Not sure if I missed something. Instructions seemed simple enough.

   Not only does the plugin work perfectly, Kent also gave outstanding online support when I had a few problems (not with the plugin but with my lack of wordpress skills). When we identified a problem that was actually caused by the plugin, he created and published an update within 10 min. that fixed it.

   While it would be nice to have insert buttons added to the editor UI, it’s not a big enough deal to give this excellent plugin one less star. If you post YouTube or Vimeo videos on your WP site, this is the only plugin you need.

   This plug-in had exactly what I needed. I had to tweak the grid a little bit to my own liking and fit my website, but that’s not a problem. Maybe one day pagination for channels with more than 20 videos? 🙂
