WPB Category Slider for WooCommerce – Responsive Product Category Carousel & Enhanced UX

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 · 65% 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.

   Works exactly as stated and it’s great to be able to find a Woocommerce “category” carousel, as most are just “product” carousels. This topic was modified 5 months ago by Kazam Creative.

   The plugin makes my website very slow! And features don’t work as described, and not user friendly. Also the customer serivce is very terrible. I would advice to not buy this plugin. And no plugins at all from this seller, because of the terrible service.

   Great out of the box functionality, easy to get things set up the way you want. They built a short code generator as well so you don’t need to tinker with that if you don’t have that skillset. I’ve had two questions for support and both times they responded very quickly and effectively. Would definitely recommend this product.
