WPCore Plugin Manager

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 · 98% 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.

   Love this plugin – and when there was a recent bug the author was quick to fix it. Makes bulk installation of plugins easy as pie.

   Love this plugin! I only use the free version and secretly wish it allowed up to 5 lists. But either way…thanks for making this! Also wish it could install themes as well.

   <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>Simple and useful plugin, it saves time.</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>The only thing to improve would be to add a little “Add” button next to the entry field for the code, right now Enter seems like an only obvious way to add a code. :)</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>Cheers</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –>

   It is always a pity when a once great product is left to fade away. It still works, but it is never wise to install a plugin that is so out-of-date. I wish I could find an alternative.

   This plugin works by configuring the list of plugins on the developer’s website, which then provides a code you can enter in the plugin’s screen on your own website to retrieve the list. It is based on the tgmpa library, which contains a bug that causes an error message during some plugin installs, but the install still works so that’s just an irritant. The main problem is it’s difficult to configure the list of plugins on the developer’s website. The search function works very poorly, and the list of plugins is displayed in a space-wasting, unsorted way, making it hard to determine whether you have added all the plugins you need. There also doesn’t seem to be a distinction between plugins that should just be installed, versus installed and activated. Rather than a key to reference information on their website, it would actually be more convenient to have a field to paste in a list of the desired plugins. This is a bit too elaborate.
