WP101 Video Tutorial Plugin

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

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 · 62% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 23 months ago; the previous band took 2.5 years to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   This plugin is incredible for my clients. I usually make custom training video and this cuts those down significantly. (And they took sooo much time to make.) The ability to add a few custom videos is fantastic. I especially appreciate the thorough and clear documentation for using the block editor, which many of my clients have found intimidating. They also provide FABULOUS support. Not that you’d usually need it — usually it works straight out of the box — but I had an odd hosting scenario and they took the time to carefully debug the situation and tell me what was wrong with the server setup. I can’t recommend them enough!

   I’ve been using the WP101Plugin to support my virtual assisting and project management students for a couple of years now, and I’ve been blown away by the quality and detail of the videos. I appreciate that I can trust the WP101 brand to exhibit the same quality I strive so hard to provide to my students and clients.  In addition, my interaction with support (Shawn!) has been nothing short of stellar. He was able to turn what I thought would be a complicated request into a smooth transition as I upgraded my plan. I can’t tell you how much of a relief it is knowing that I not only have quality resources for my students and clients, but that I also have access to wonderful support whenever I need it. If you’re looking for a way to provide excellent WordPress training to your audience without the headache of actually producing the training, then WP101 videos are a MUST. They’re worth every cent!

   I’ve been a customer of WP101 for a couple of years now. They provide professionally made, high quality training videos for WordPress, WooCommerce, Yoast, JetPack and more… I always wanted a way to provide training videos to my website clients so they can administer their own website. I used to train every single client on how to use their website and besides being time consuming, most people can’t absorb everything you teach them in one sitting. So this Plugin is the best solution!! Now I can give each of my clients access to these professionally made training videos that they can watch right in the backend of their own website, whenever they want. I don’t have to provide one-on-one training anymore (unless of course they want to pay extra for it), and everybody wins. This plugin is a great solution. You just have to pay for the membership you want and it’s definitely worth it! I highly recommend!

   Professional, comprehensive videos for your clients on how to use WordPress. Saves hours of support time. As an added bonus, you can record your own training videos for the custom functionality you’ve built and make them available right in the WP Dashboard.

   Why is this plugin here? You need to pay to get the API key. USELESS unless you PAY. Please remove from the Free Plugins
