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 WP Extended on my client sites since finding a recommendation for it on Youtube. It’s become one of those plugins I just install without thinking! The modularity and low-key yet polished UI is what sold me. Turn on what you need, leave the rest off. Duplicate posts, SMTP, rollback, custom admin URL, code snippets… stuff I used to install four or five separate plugins for. Now it’s just one with one update to run and one UI to deal with. It’s exactly what I have been looking for and keeps getting better and better. Support is excellent too.

    Discovered this amazing plugin around 2 months ago and decided to give it a try on my personal website. Gotta say, the experience was totally different – in a good way! 😄 At first, I faced a few issues here and there, nothing major but still needed fixing. What really impressed me was the support team – they were super helpful and quick! Within just a few hours, everything was sorted. Big shoutout to tdrayson and Sumit Singh – you guys rock! 🙌 Now my site runs smooth, and the features this plugin offers are just what I needed. Feels like it’s made by folks who really understand what users want. Definitely a solid 5-star from my side ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Love the product but unable to get hold or a response from the support team. Such a dissapointment I was going to purchase the plugin but with slow or in this case no support I do not see myself spending money and getting use to a plugin, and if something goes wrong then getting burned afterwards for slow or no response from plugin developers. Hopefully, I will get assistance within the next 48 hours and I will gladly remove or update my review if I can just get support or some sort of an acknowledgement that someone is seeing my support issue? I love the plugin so I am very sure there is a perfectly good reason for not responding to my support question. You have a plugin that you made available to test, surely it will help sales to answer support questions?Thank you Progress Update2025-05-14: No reply from support, first support request made May 11, 2025 @ 5:03am been waiting almost 3 days. Let’s hope tomorrow when I check back in there is something that indicates the plugin developers are interested in assisting me. Would love to purchase the product but I have to have support when needed. Thank you This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by rj2020. This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by rj2020.

    I’ve had a license for WP Extended since it was born, and I’ve enjoyed watching it grow in sophistication. I really like that it’s modular. This does things that I would normally have to deal with via code snippets or additional plugins. This plugin has become a part of my “new site base stack” – only possible because of the modularity and subsequent small footprint. Awesome tool.

    This is one of those rare exceptional plugins in the WordPress ecosystem. It is very promising and they have a generous number of features in the free version. I love the intuitive interface and the easy way to enable/disable the modules. It is installed on every single website I manage.
