WPDevs Classic Editor & Widgets

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

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   I have been using the WPDevs Classic Editor & Widgets plugin for quite some time now, and I must say it has greatly enhanced my WordPress editing experience. As someone who prefers the classic editor, this plugin has been a lifesaver. The plugin seamlessly brings back the traditional WordPress classic editor, along with its familiar features like TinyMCE, Meta Boxes, and more. It’s a breath of fresh air to work with a user-friendly and intuitive interface that allows me to focus on creating content without any distractions. I appreciate the plugin’s compatibility with older plugins that enhance the classic editor. It ensures that I can continue using my favorite plugins without any conflicts or compatibility issues. Furthermore, the recent updates and improvements have made the WPDevs Classic Editor & Widgets plugin even better. The developers have done an excellent job of keeping it up-to-date with the latest version of WordPress and ensuring its adherence to the WordPress Plugin Directory guidelines. I highly recommend this plugin to anyone who prefers the classic editor experience. It’s a reliable and well-designed solution that brings back the simplicity and efficiency of the classic editing interface. A big thank you to the WPDevs team for creating such a valuable plugin!
