Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

Release cadence

No release in a year

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    “Is this free? Yes, it’s totally free and it will remain free. No premium addons, or stuff will that will be added” …but the website lists the ability to use custom plugins as a premium subscription. So that was a lie.

    At the first glance seems not as user friendly as WPCore. But I actually love this more, and here are the reasons: It supports working with WP favourites as saved at worpdress.org It supports CodeCanyon as a category in and of itself The free plugin list you can build is much more generous since you search by the plugin slug at wordpress.org, you can never be wrong and choose by mistake some other similarly named plugin (has happened to me with other similar tools) Overall, a HUGE time saver and works like a charm. Thank you so much!

    I particularly like the sharing possibilities, allowing to manage collaborative lists. Add to that a reactive support 🙂 In short, I even wrote an article in French to promote this Plugin, that I also registered it in the Webmaster’s collaborative Trello This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by Laurent J.V. Dubois. This topic was modified 6 years, 6 months ago by Laurent J.V. Dubois. Reason: last little bug fixed, gain its 5 stars :)

    I couldn’t figure out why export resulted in a huge list of plugins. On the forums other users have asked for help with the same problem. Enough time has passed (2 months) with no response. Bummer. Plugin is good but this is a sign of abandonment.

    You just create your FREE Account at WP Favs and then install only on plugin on your WordPress. The rest is up to WPFav Plugins Collection you may choose. That simple. I use this plugin to set up quickly most of my clients’ websites. Thank you, Author!
